Description
August 25 Vancouver; Toronto Simultaneous demonstrations for the inclusion of a sexual orientation clause in provincial human rights codes took place as part of Gay Pride Week. In Vancouver, about 100 people (mostly male) attended the rally at the courthouse. Few women took part in the demonstration because many lesbians felt that the protest was geared towards fighting gay male oppression and ignored the concerns of women.
