Description

June Niagara Falls, Ont. The Gay Youth Niagara (GYN) phone line was established, which soon led to the establishment of Gay Unity Niagara (GUN). In August 1979, Tim Veysey placed advertisements in nine local papers to announce the organizational meeting for GUN. The Welland Tribune originally refused to print the ad, but later agreed. The Port Colborne News refused to print the ad and was not contacted again. GUN later asked residents of the Niagara region to boycott the Port Colborne News.
