Description

March 7 Toronto Almost two dozen people took part in an anti-gay demonstration held at Queen's Park, organized by the group Concerned Citizens of Toronto. The protesters presented a petition to Ontario Minister of Labour Robert Elgie, and demanded the formation of a new government body to "oversee children's rights" because those rights were being undermined by militant homosexuals. There was a lone counter-demonstrator, James Fraser of the CGA, marching at the rally with a placard stating "Read the Body Politic."
