Description

July 23 Toronto 500 people took part in a gay rights demonstration. Women led the way in the march up Toronto's "sin-strip" on Yonge St. The march wound up at the Provincial Parliament buildings. Francie Wyland, author of the book "Motherhood, Lesbianism and Child Custody", and main coordinator of the Lesbian Mother's Defense Fund was invited to speak. Another $50 was raised for Mrs X's custody battle. The Wages Due Lesbians banner was the only one picked up by media.
