Description
October 20–21 Toronto The Conference on Human Freedom and Sexuality was held at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). Attendance was restricted to people eighteen years of age or older due to fear of a police raid. Censored materials were displayed, and the organizers did not want to take the chance of police interference at the conference. Several workshops dealt with gay (but not lesbian) topics. The sexologist Dr. John Money attended, as did the French director Louis Malle, whose film Pretty Baby had recently been banned by Ontario censors. The Centre for Human Freedom and Sexuality, based in Toronto, was founded as a result of the positive interest in this conference.
