Description
December 10 Ottawa On International Human Rights Day, GO wrote a letter to the editor of Le Droit, Ottawa's French-language daily, protesting the paper's anti-gay discrimination. For months the paper had refused to publish social and meeting announcements submitted by GO for the free daily current events listing "Le Carrefour." The newspaper printed the letter and a reply, stating that the non-publication of the announcements had been due to a misunderstanding and that Le Droit would henceforth announce gay activities "with pleasure and at no cost." This did not occur, however, and Le Droit refused to carry GO's announcements for months to come.
