Description
February 14 Canada CLGRC had declared February 14 Pink Triangle Day to commemorate the acquittal of PTP on February 14, 1979. The day was to be set aside as an annual celebration of gay history. Events took place in several cities, including Vancouver, Edmonton, Fredericton, and Halifax. GATE (Vancouver) sponsored a talk by Douglas Sanders on the history of ASK, active in Vancouver from 1964 to 1968. GAE celebrated with a cabaret, which was the beginning of a campaign to raise funds for new facilities for GAE.
