Description
July 28 Toronto The Toronto Board of Education School Programs Committee granted an official hearing to the ad hoc group of lesbians and gays who had been lobbying since 1979 for the establishment of a gay liaison committee. Eleven of the twelve school board trustees in attendance at the meeting passed recommendations to explore establishing a lesbian/gay liaison. Three days later, on July 31, 1980, the Toronto Board of Education trustees voted 18 to 4 in favour of forming a subcommittee to report on "establishing liaison between the Board and the lesbian/gay community." (See also September 9, 15, and 29, 1980.)
