Description

February 7 Toronto Five gay male couples attended the Trinity College formal, the Conversat, at the University of Toronto, causing a scene by waltzing together. They wore tuxedos and, to protest the recent bath raids, sported Oscar Wilde–inspired green carnations with attached strips of white cloth that resembled bath towels. Many of the men were members of either GAUT or HOT.
