Description
April–May Hamilton Hamilton City Council voted thirteen to five to pass an anti-pornography by-law to control magazines appealing to "erotic or sexual appetites." Sex magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse were now to be displayed at least six feet above floor level or behind counters in all stores, and wrapped in sealed packages with only the titles exposed. This was the first by-law of its kind in North America.
