He later became a successful bathhouse owner and was described by Toronto Life magazine in 1976 as “Canada’s first acknowledged gay millionaire.” Several police raids on bathhouses in the late 1970s and early 1980s thrust Maloney back into the legal and political spotlight. In 1980, he led a group arguing that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms should protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
