153 Rue Kent Gatineau QC J8X3K7 WARNING: Anti-Gay Businessman in Ottawa, Ontario Canada Beware of APW Film. The owner & installer is Nathan Saikali and his business number is: (613)567-8468 and is based in Ottawa. I needed the windows tinted on my car and wanted mobile service. I called this company and fell for his pitch about having 30 years experience. What a nightmare. Nathan had no idea that I am gay. Once he saw a rainbow pamphlet that was on my rear seat he said that since he started the job, he’ll finish but normally he does not do business with 'homosexuals'. After about 90 minutes of Nathan Saikali preaching to me about how God hates gays and blasting my car stereo with ‘Christian’ music while he tints the car, he finally finishes. Now my car stinks of bad body order (take a shower why don’t you) but that is another issue. The car is in a garage & it is a dark tint so I don't immediately notice any issues. I didn't drive the car until the next day when I notice what appears to be a scratch or tear on the tint. I called the company APW Film and mentioned that it looks like there was a small tear or scratch with the tint. The woman who answers the phone (his wife or girlfriend since she accompanies him on his jobs who goes by the name Helen) immediately began to argue with me that it wasn't them & I had to have done it with the seat belt. BTW, Nathan’s wife or girl friend looks rather butchy to me, maybe she is gay! ~ I politely asked them if I could bring the car to them to look at so we could figure out how to resolve or repair. After emailing them pictures and attempting to follow-up a few times, they will not respond and purposely ignore my attempts to remedy the situation. I cannot help but feel that they did not want to have anything to do with me because I am queer. So I took my car to a different tint shop today and they confirmed there is an issue with the tint job & laughed when I told them that Nathan Saikali of APW Films claims I must have received the scratches from a seat belt. Turns out there are two scratches - one on a rear door window & one on the rear glass that is nowhere near a seat belt and no one would touch the inside of that glass. After spending $350 cash (to save on the tax) with Nathan Saikali, I now have to pay a different company to remove the tint & redo it correctly. Avoid Nathan Saikali and APW Films at all costs. They screwed up my cars auto tint - don't let them screw up yours. Note, this company also does residential homes with the same owner/installer, Nathan Saikali. Also Nathan Saikali is very homophobic, and if you want a 90 min sermon about Gays and God, give him a call, his office number is (613)567-8468 and his home address and number are (819)770-0508 - 153 Rue Kent Gatineau QC J8X3K7 He’ll even send you a free Watchtower magazine on the subject. Also, if you have ever been subjected to his 90 min. sermon of Homosexuals and God please report Nathan Saikali to: http://www.chrc-ccdp.ca/default-eng.aspx http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en The Ontario Human Rights Commission’s Policy on Discrimination and Harassment Because of Gender Identity and other publications are available at www.ohrc.on.ca.

[email protected] Mr. Saikali you and your church members should read this, Healing Hurt Words and Gay Name-Calling
How To Confront Those That Hurt You An open letter to my 6th grade gym teacher which I mailed today. I believe as gays and lesbians we should go back and confront those who harmed us for being different in our childhood when we can and when it is safe to do. This letter is one way to do it. Not to do this is to either carry the shame and trauma around from what others gave us or to take it out on others. I know that it is from experiences like my own--one of which is described in this open letter--that can contribute to those who stay in the closet and/or enter reparative therapy. I read the article about you in today’s _________ News. I have never forgotten you, because you were my gym teacher in 6th grade, from 1975 to ‘76, when I was 12 years old. The memory of you that stands out is of my walking into gym class late with my best friend. The other students burst out laughing from something you’d said to them just before we walked in. Later, a number of my classmates told me that you anticipated that my best friend and I would walk in together, and that we were probably “fags.†It became a running joke toward me for the rest of my junior high school years. It was so traumatic that I remember it like yesterday. Among my peers, you could not have humiliated me more. In my judgment, what you did was cruel, insensitive—and immature. You were an adult authority figure who should have been encouraging and coaching me—not hurting me publicly—or privately for that matter. In fact, Mr. _____, I was and am a gay male. Back then, I was probably in love with my best friend, but didn’t realize it. I didn’t yet know what being in love was, and certainly wouldn’t have known or understood what it meant to be gay. As a young, impressionable boy of 12, having hit puberty, gym class was an over-stimulating place, since I was being sexually aroused by sharing showers and locker rooms with the very gender that aroused me. Also, I wasn’t athletic at all, so for me, gym was a nightmare. Imagine if you were to put a heterosexual boy in a girls’ locker room and showers, and I think you can understand the enormous struggle I was having and what a really rotten thing you did to me. In the article, I noted that you are now retired. I’m relieved to know that young boys are no longer under your care and won’t have to suffer at your hands the same pain that I did, during such an important and difficult time of my life. Either you’re the same man today that you were then and will just laugh off this letter. Or else, you’ll feel some remorse for something you did to two of your students who didn’t deserve to be ridiculed by a guy like you! You didn’t even pick on someone your own size. The shame I felt from what you did to me really belongs to you, the perpetrator—and I gladly give it back to you with this letter. Sincerely, BJ |
