Description

March 7 Toronto Five thousand women and men demonstrated in a march through downtown to mark International Women's Day. Lesbians and gay men marched under the banners of the RTPC and Gays and Lesbians against the Right Everywhere (GLARE). This was one of the first actions supported by GLARE. In June 1981 GLARE changed its name to Gay Liberation against the Right Everywhere (GLARE) after lesbians left the group to form Lesbians against the Right (LAR). (See also May 9, 1981.)
