Description

August 31 Montréal A McDonald's restaurant was granted a temporary injunction by the Quebec Superior Court to prevent the opening of a gay disco, L'Aéroport , above its Peel Street location. There had been a dance club at the location for at least twenty years but as soon as renovations were undertaken to turn it into a gay disco in the spring of 1979, McDonald's complained. (See also October 27, 1979.)
