The Importance Of Public Sex
Defending the homoerotics of everyday experience in VancouverIn summer months I have a place for public sex. Heading out to Wreck Beach, I travel across a series of spaces with connections to queer history and geography, a queerscape connected by muddy trails where the Fraser River meets the Strait of Georgia. Queer space emerged in many of the areas at the south end of Wreck as part of a "zone of discard": the steep muddy trails made the beach unattractive to most other than heterosexual nudists and sexual minorities.
