Description
August 12 Toronto Radio station Q107 rejected an advertisement for the Body Politic on the grounds that "at the present time, public sensitivity to gay-oriented advertising would be negative and not in the best interests of either the advertiser or the radio station." On July 5, 1977, the station had agreed to do a series of thirty-second spots for the Body Politic, but backed down due to the subsequent media assault on the gay community following the murder of Emanuel Jaques. The Body Politic filed a complaint with the CRTC concerning Q107's action, but was told that the CRTC had no power to influence Q107's decision.
