Description
March 7 Toronto The Metropolitan Toronto Area Regional Conference of the New Democratic Party (NDP) voted to recommend the adoption of the program of CGRO, virtually unaltered, as party policy. This was the first time that a comprehensive stance on gay rights had been introduced into the policy-making process of a major political party in Ontario. On March 11, 1976, the St. George NDP Riding Association passed a similar resolution; this riding included most of the "gay" neighbourhood of downtown Toronto. (See also June 11–13, 1976.)
