Description
by Malcolm Crockett (Author)
From the late 1960s until the early 1990s the Canadian government, assisted by the RCMP, conducted a comprehensive program of harassment of Gays and Lesbians in the Canadian Armed Forces and the Public Service. Several men and women targets of systemic intimidation committed suicide.
When RCMP officers involved were stationed in other parts of the country, homophobic harassment continued. In No Backup: A Set Up and More, the author describes working as a young Gay Social Worker when RCMP Officers informed him that he would not receive "Backup' as the force" ... didn't want anyone in the detachment or the community liking him too much."
A Union Executive recommended Shop Steward training and encouraged the writer to document his early life experiences, including his sibling rank and the life experiences where he grew up. Fascinating characters and dynamic adventures emerge.
From surviving two viral meningitis comas as a child in New Zealand to serving on a global planning committee organizing anti- nuclear protest to lobbying the Canadian Prime Minister to rescue ten people from the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, to surviving a life-threatening call-out where RCMP officers placed him in a room with a severely impaired homicidal and suicidal adult, the protagonist documents the activities and the unique influences of hometown characters. A remarkable tale of survival and success.
