Description

November 20 Winnipeg Thirty-five members of GFE and others picketed the Manitoba legislature in support of John Damien and for the inclusion of "sexual orientation" in the Manitoba Human Rights Act. Representatives of GFE, the RMG, and the Winnipeg Lesbian Society addressed the crowd. High winds and blowing snow did not deter the protest, which was the largest gay rights demonstration held in Winnipeg to that time.
