Description
February 1 Mississauga, Ont. The Mississauga Library Board cancelled the showing of the film The Naked Civil Servant, which was to have been shown at the Central Library on February 7. The film depicted the life of openly gay English writer Quentin Crisp, and was to have been followed by a discussion led by Elgin Blair, coordinator of GEM. Mississauga Councillor Hazel McCallion, a member of the Library Board, remarked, "I'm not sure a public body should promote a topic that is not generally accepted by the public."
