Description
March 6 Toronto Twelve hundred people attended a Gay Freedom Rally held at St. Lawrence Market North to hear a variety of high-profile speakers, including writer Margaret Atwood, George Hislop, broadcaster Laurier Lapierre, and MP Svend Robinson (NDP–Burnaby), denounce the February 5 bath raids and the failure of the Ontario provincial government to extend human rights protection to lesbians and gays. The event, sponsored by CGRO, included entertainment by folksinger Paul Brown and the quartet the Nylons, as well as a dance.
