Description

November 8 Toronto The Toronto Star, for years an opponent of gay activists, seemingly reversed its stand on gay liberation when it published an editorial calling for the inclusion of sexual orientation in the revised Ontario Human Rights Code. The Star confirmed the same position in an editorial published on January 5,1976, in which it used the John Damien case as an example of the dangers imposed by not having sexual orientation in the Code. However, at that time the Star still refused to use the word "gay" as an alternative to "homosexual."
