Description

October 10–November 14 Canada Being Gay, a six-hour series of interviews and observations on gay and lesbian life, was broadcast on CBC radio's documentary programme Ideas. Max Allen and Geraldine Sherman produced the series. The Body Politic was criticized after it accidentally printed an ad for the series in its October 1979 issue (number 57), as gay groups across Canada had been boycotting CBC radio advertising because of the CBC's longstanding refusal to run public service announcements for gay organizations.
