Description
January Toronto Toronto Area Gays (TAG) started operating a telephone-counselling service for gay men and lesbians, as well as informational drop-ins. The first phone call was taken on January 29. Harvey Hamburg was the spokesperson for the group, which was self-funded. TAG printed hundreds of stickers advertising the service and posted them around Toronto. TAG also advertised the phone line (964-6600) in the Globe and Mail; their ad was refused by both the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun.
