Description
November 21 Toronto Issue 39 (December 1977–January 1978) of the Body Politic, which contained Gerald Hannon's controversial article on adult-child sexuality, "Men Loving Boys Loving Men," was published. It contained interviews with three pedophiles and with an adult who in his youth had a relationship with a pedophile. For six months the Body Politic collective had debated whether to publish the article. Reader reaction to the publication was mixed, and eventually prompted more letters to the editor than any other article in the paper's history. (See also December 1977; December 22, 1977; December 25, 1977; December 27, 1977; December 28, 1977; and December 30, 1977.)
