Description
September 26 Toronto Sixty-five people picketed for an hour outside the United States Consulate on University Avenue as part of an international day of protest (held in twelve countries) against American immigration policy that continued to exclude gay non-residents. The local protest related to the case of Philip Fotheringham, a Toronto resident, who was denied entry to the United States at Kennedy International Airport on May 5, 1981, because of his sexual orientation. Officials had denied him entry after examining his personal correspondence and diaries.
