Description

October 28–30 Toronto Twenty-five members of the Law Union of Ontario participated in a workshop on the politics of gay liberation, held during the Union's fall conference at Hart House, University of Toronto. The Union, an organization of progressive lawyers, had called upon the Law Society of Upper Canada, the governing body of the legal profession in Ontario, to rule clearly against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in its code of professional conduct. Later, the Law Society presented the motion, which was defeated by a margin of six votes.
