Description

November Toronto Members of the Turkish-Canadian Friendship Association protested screenings of the film Midnight Express by distributing leaflets attacking the film for portraying Turkey as "a whole nation as sadists and homosexuals." Ed Jackson of the Body Politic sent a letter to the Globe and Mail, deploring the film's insulting depiction of Turkey and the Turkish people but also complaining about the Friendship Association's slur against homosexuality.
