Description

June 28–July 3 Halifax "Building Solidarity: The Fight against Repression," the sixth annual conference for lesbians and gay men, was hosted by GAE and held at Dalhousie University. The conference, attended by more than 200 people representing forty gay organizations from across Canada, sponsored many workshops, including ones on abortion, gender reassignment (sex change), gay youth, ageism, and police repression, as well as a full cultural program. Terry Last and Paul Ledoux's cabaret piece The Night They Raided Truxx was performed at the Turret Gay Community Centre. Jim MacSwain also performed the one-person show, The Bearded Lady's Reflection. The final plenary sessions were turbulent, and led to major structural changes to the NGRC, which was renamed the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Rights Coalition (CLGRC). The issue of lesbian participation was a hot topic, and delegates examined the organization's 50 percent lesbian control resolution passed at the 1977 conference. (See also December 1978.)
