Description
September Toronto Terry Phillips resigned as chairperson and as a member of the Committee to Defend John Damien. The organization had been hampered by a lack of formal structure and internal disagreement over the most effective strategy to portray the Damien case in the media: a more generic "human rights" approach versus specific "gay rights." At a meeting on October 6, Michael Lynch was elected interim chairperson.
