Description
June 25 Toronto About 300 people participated in a demonstration organized by the newly formed Coalition to Stop Anita Bryant (CSAB). The group marched down Yonge Street and over to the CBC building on Jarvis Street, where Bryant was burned in effigy. This was the first of several coalitions and public actions across Canada organized to protest Bryant's anti-gay crusade. CSAB was later succeeded by the group Free Lesbians and Gays (FLAG). (See also July 22, 1977.)
