Description

May 11 Windsor, Ont. The Windsor Star announced that it had changed its policy and would now accept gay advertisements in general display pages. The announcement was made at a hearing before the Windsor Media Council, which had been called after WGU filed a complaint concerning the Star's discriminatory advertising policy. The Windsor Media Council dismissed the charge of discrimination. On June 14, 1979, the Ontario Press Council announced that it found the Windsor Star guilty of discrimination against WGU in this complaint, even though the paper had changed its policy.
