Description
June 28 Toronto At the monthly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Commissioners of Police, the board refused to add sexual orientation to its Declaration of Concern and Intent, but did agree to amend its by-laws to guard against unauthorized disclosure of arrests without permission of the chief of police. The board did not respond to the other eight demands of the gay community, thus defying explicit directions from the Toronto City Council and the Metropolitan Toronto Council. At the same meeting, Aldermen Dan Heap and Allan Sparrow appeared with gay community representatives to deplore recent police entrapment of gay men at the Greenwin Square shopping mall on Bloor Street. (See also July 26, 1979.)
