Description
February 11 Saint John, N.B. Three gay men were fired from their jobs at the Captain's Quarters/Pier One Restaurant because management feared that the restaurant would become notorious because of its gay staff. FLAG later filed a formal complaint with the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission, demanding that the workers be reinstated. Although the commission investigated the matter, it dismissed the complaint. A year after the incident, Gaston Nadeau, one of the three fired men, was rehired by the same restaurant and received an apology as a condition of his reinstatement.
