More modern usage has centered on any casual sexual encounter between men, and as an adjective to refer to any male considered masculine and/or sexually appealing. Examples of this include wealthy Englishmen finding partners among deprived Cockneys in 1930s London. Trade originally referred to casual sex partners, regardless of sexuality as many gay and bisexual men were closeted, but evolved to imply the gay partner is comparatively wealthy and the partner who is trade is economically deprived. Historically the motivations may at times include a desire for emotional fulfillment and admiration, but the term often refers to a straight man who partners with a gay man for economic benefit, either through a direct cash payment or through other, more subtle means (gifts, tuition payments, etc.).
Men falling in the category of "trade" are not gay-identified. Trade (also known as chow) is a gay slang term which refers to the casual partner of a gay man or to the genre of such pairings.

“He was the same in uniform as he was out of uniform. Inspector Stu Eley knew Northrup and spoke with CP24 following the ceremony.

That my friends is the definition of selflessness, the definition of true bravery.” “These officers never wavered in their sworn duty to protect the people of this province regardless of the personal risk. “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we must call out six more names this day, six more heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of keeping the people in this province safe from harm,” Ford said.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell and other dignitaries attended a ceremony to honour fallen Ontario police officers in person for the first time since 2019 Sunday.
