Description

August Montréal International Sex Equality Anonymous (ISEA), an educational and social homophile organization, was founded by Paul Bédard. During 1967-68 Bédard was also involved with the Club Cherrier, 847, rue Cherrier, a discreet, semi-private mixed club for men. In September 1968, Bédard was acquitted of charges of gross indecency and contributing to juvenile delinquency after a member of the club was found to have used it to recruit customers for young male hustlers. By April 1969, Bédard and ISEA had opened the Gemini I Club at 1285, boul. Maisonneuve O. ISEA was active until at least 1971. (See also April 19, 1969, and September 13, 1969.)
