Description

November 11 Ottawa Martin Hogarth, representing GO, laid a wreath at the National War Memorial during ceremonies on Remembrance Day. This was the second year in a row that GO had participated in the ceremony. The wreath included a pink triangle, the symbol that gay people were forced to wear in concentration camps. Hogarth had been dismissed from the Canadian armed forces in 1974 after admitting, under interrogation, that he was gay.
