Description

May Montréal A complaint was filed with the Québec Human Rights Commission after La Presse refused to print a classified advertisement submitted by Jeunesse gaie de Montréal (JGM); two other Montréal dailies, the Montreal Star and Montréal-Matin, had previously accepted the ad. The commission ruled that the Québec Human Rights Charter also applied to gays under twenty-one years of age, even though certain parts of the Canadian Criminal Code made sex for them illegal.
