Description

January 11 Montréal A group of fifty gays and lesbians met to discuss the ramifications of Bill 88, the amendment to the Québec Human Rights Charter that added "sexual orientation" to the list of protected grounds of discrimination. The meeting, sponsored by ADGQ, was addressed by a lawyer from the Human Rights Commission who warned that the Charter covered discrimination in housing, employment, and access to public services only, and would not eliminate more general discrimination against gays or homophobia.
