Description
October 19 Toronto About 250 to 350 people attended the Festival Celebrating Freedom and Family, held at Nathan Phillips Square. Billed as a show of strength against "gay power politics," and aimed at Mayor John Sewell and the Toronto Board of Education in particular, the event was organized by Stu Newton of PPO. The rally was like a religious revival meeting, complete with prayers and choruses, and was also addressed by Rev. Ken Campbell and Andy Koornstra, an ex-gay. (See also November 10, 1980.)
