Description

February 15 Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal A dozen gay men, members of Gays against the Movie Cruising (GATMC), protested and distributed leaflets at the Uptown Theatre in Toronto during the first day of release of William Friedkin's film Cruising. Eight uniformed policemen were on duty inside and outside the theatre. Members of GATMC handed out leaflets for a week at the film. Gays also protested outside the Claremont Theatre in Montréal (and distributed a bilingual leaflet) and outside the Elgin Theatre in Ottawa. (See also February 21, 1980, and February 29, 1980.)
