Description

June 24 Vancouver GATE (Vancouver) announced its dissolution, after nine years of activity, as well as the end of its publication Gay Tide. GATE (Vancouver) had faced a dwindling membership in recent years and was forced to move to a smaller office in the spring of 1980 due to financial difficulties. The group maintained that it could no longer operate without an expanded membership, or without grants or subsidies. In its final statement, GATE (Vancouver) complained of the gay community's shifting emphasis from liberation to social services and lobbying.
