Description

June 8 Montréal The Association des Pères Noël de la province de Québec (Association of Santa Clauses of Quebec) reversed its previous anti-gay stance, stating that "any person of good morals, notwithstanding their sexual orientation, can be considered to be a Santa Claus." At least one gay man had been refused a job as a Santa Claus in a Québec store and was later financially compensated after an investigation by the Quebec Human Rights Commission.
