Description
May 22 Ottawa The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that newspapers have the right to reject advertising that runs contrary to their advertising policy. The six to three decision rejected the appeal by GATE (Vancouver), ruling that the Vancouver Sun had "reasonable cause" to refuse to print a fifteen-word classified ad for Gay Tide, published by GATE (Vancouver), in October 1974. This was the first gay rights case decided by the Supreme Court of Canada. (See also June 1979, September 15–22, 1979, and November 16, 1979.)
