April 26 Montréal More than 1,000 gay men and lesbians blocked the intersection of Stanley and St. Catherine Streets in a late-night demonstration to protest the police raid on the Sauna David three nights before. Although the demonstration was illegal, there was no confrontation with police as there had been during the demonstration held in October 1977 to protest the Truxx raid.
