Description

December 31 Toronto A benefit dinner and dance was held for Broadside (a feminist newspaper), Womynly Way Productions, and Mama Quilla II at the Toronto Dance Theatre. The event became controversial after a group of lesbian separatists took control and forced a woman-only policy on the celebration. Men were turned away at the door, including those who had already purchased tickets.
