Description

November 9 Windsor, Ont. The five-member Berkeley Music Collective, a lesbian band, were detained while crossing the border into Canada. After several hours, they obtained a ministerial permit to enter the country on the condition that they not perform musically; they were also required to post a bond of $150 to ensure that they would return to the United States. Gay civil rights groups had been fighting for changes to the Immigration Act, which prohibited homosexuals from entering Canada. (See also November 24, 1976.)
