Description
July 1 Toronto Alan Dawson, the style editor of the Globe and Mail, declared that a decision had been made to allow the word "gay" back into news copy and headlines after an eight-month ban at Canada's national newspaper. "Homosexual" had been used exclusively instead of "gay," but this was found to be imprecise and both words were now allowed.
