Description
September 4–6 Toronto The fourth annual national gay conference, entitled "Many Faces, One Focus," was hosted by GATE (Toronto) and held at Jarvis Collegiate. Almost 250 people representing more than forty lesbian and gay organizations registered, and many more people attended informally. Major themes of the conference included the relationship of lesbians to the gay movement and the responsibilities of the NGRC/CNDH. More than 400 people attended a rally and march held on September 5, from Allan Gardens to Nathan Phillips Square. Other events included the annual meeting of the NGRC/CNDH, panels and workshops, cultural presentations, a coffee house (at the CHAT Centre), and a dance at Holy Trinity Church.
