Description

February Ottawa The NGRC/CNDH started a national campaign to lobby federal MPs to support the civil rights of gays through the inclusion of the term "sexual orientation" in the government's proposed Canadian Human Rights Act. Local NGRC/CNDH member organizations across Canada coordinated the distribution of the bilingual brief "The Homosexual Minority and the Canadian Human Rights Act" to all 264 Members of Parliament. This was seen as a major step in the gay rights cause, as it was the first time that all sitting Members of Parliament had been approached on a systematic, national basis by representatives of the gay movement.
