Autumn Windsor, Ont. Windsor Gay […]

When

1976-09 – 1976-11

Description

Autumn Windsor, Ont. Windsor Gay Unity (WGU) was dissolved and reconstituted and restructured under the same name. The move was necessary to revitalize the organization and to allow it more flexibility. One of its first projects was to survey all candidates for the upcoming city council election. Most of the more than thirty candidates refused to respond to WGU's survey, but Shirley Campbell and Henry Shanfield, who were both elected, pledged their support for a gay rights resolution banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in city employment.
