Abstract

This paper directly focuses on homosexuality and its changing discourses in Windsor, Ontario in 1945 and 1946. Through a critical analysis of three primary sources including the Windsor Daily Star, the Windsor Police Departmental records, and the trial transcript Rex versus Ronald George Sears [1946], this paper attempts to show how the press, police, and legal authorities treated male homosexuality in this immediate postwar period.
