Description
Spring Hamilton, Ont. The Hamilton Gay Association, a new social group, placed an advertisement in the personal column of the Hamilton Spectator for contestants for a proposed Gay Easter Pageant. This generated many vicious letters in response, which were published in the Spectator. Only two letters were positive; one was from Brian Marsh, president of MHA. This was the first letter to the editor from MHA published by the Spectator, in spite of at least fifty previous attempts. The Gay Easter Pageant itself was never held, due to a lack of response to the ad.
