Description
September 23 Vancouver Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was met by about forty members of CGAA picketing in front of the Georgia Hotel, where Trudeau was scheduled to appear on an open-line radio show. The picketers were opposed to anti-gay laws. After the show, Trudeau came back onto the street and talked briefly to Dick Rulens, chairperson of CGAA, who gave Trudeau some literature published by the CGAA. Later that evening members of GATE (Vancouver) demonstrated outside of the Showmart at the Pacific National Exhibition, where Trudeau gave a speech.
