Description
February 14 Toronto Glad Day Bookshop was informed by Canada Customs that the books Loving Man and Men Loving Men, both published in the United States, had been seized for judgement as to whether they contravened the Customs Act. Similar books aimed at heterosexuals, such as The Joy of Sex, were readily available in Toronto. In March, Glad Day was informed that both books were "immoral and indecent" and could not be imported into Canada. Glad Day appealed the ruling. The Ministry of Revenue, responsible for customs, reviewed the case and allowed Loving Man entry, but prohibited Men Loving Men.
