Description

September 29 Toronto The Toronto Board of Education's School Programs Committee met to discuss the dissolution of the subcommittee formed to investigate liaison with the lesbian and gay community. The subcommittee was indeed disbanded, but representatives of sixteen delegations, mostly representing Christian fundamentalist organizations and churches, still insisted on speaking on the subject. The presentations were filled with bigoted diatribes, and sparked at least one shouting match. The committee's recommendation to dissolve the subcommittee was sent to the Toronto Board of Education, which approved it on October 9, 1980.
