Description

April 5 Ottawa Ottawa City Council voted unanimously to prohibit discrimination against lesbians and gay men in municipal employment. Ottawa was the second city in Canada (after Toronto, in 1973) to do so. The decision came after a year of intense lobbying by members of GO and others, and about thirty activists were in the public galleries to applaud the decision.
