Description

May 17 Toronto CGRO held a press conference at the Ontario Legislature to present its brief Discrimination and the Gay Minority to the media. Reaction was mixed; Norman Webster devoted a positive column in the Globe and Mail to the brief and Stuart Smith's endorsement of it, while Claire Hoy published a negative opinion, "Homosexuals Far from Harmless," in the Toronto Sun. An editorial in the Toronto Star supported the inclusion of "sexual orientation" in the Ontario Human Rights Code.
