Description
April 1 Port Huron, Mich. Steven Harris was denied access to the United States after he admitted to American border authorities, during questioning, that he was a homosexual. Harris's friend was also denied access because he admitted to being an associate of an admitted homosexual. CGRO wrote to several MPs on behalf of Harris, including Mark McGuigan (Lib.–Windsor-Walkerville), the Secretary of State for External Affairs. McGuigan replied that he was concerned with reports of such acts of harassment at the border and would ask officials from his department to raise the matter with U.S. officials.
