Events included lectures, films, a debate, a Valentine's Day dance, and a talk by American feminist activist Kate Millett. Tim Stevenson, president of Gay People of UBC, spoke to a luncheon gathering of fifty people at the UBC Faculty Club. During his talk Stevenson declared that bigots such as Anita Bryant could have a positive impact on the gay community by shaking gays out of complacency and inspiring them to be more vocal in pressing for recognition and equal rights.
