April Toronto The Don Mills Mirror […]
When
1977-04
Description
April Toronto The Don Mills Mirror, a newspaper controlled by Torstar, the parent company of the Toronto Star, refused to print an ad directing gays and lesbians in Don Mills to attend a political meeting. The paper refused the ad because it contained the word "gay," which the paper thought might offend "young hockey players." Cheryl Freedman, who wished to place the ad, eventually had it printed in the Toronto Star, although the Star changed the word "gay" to "homosexual."
