Description

August 14–17 Hesperia, Mich. The annual Michigan Womyn's Music Festival attracted thousands of lesbians, including many Canadians. Canadian women going to the festival were warned in advance not to discuss their sexuality at the border. In previous years, dozens of women had been turned back at the Port Huron–Sarnia crossing, in particular, on the grounds that they had admitted to, or were suspected of, being lesbian.
