Description

August 18 Toronto TGCC organized a public hearing in order that Arnold Bruner, charged by Toronto City Council with reporting on "the disagreement and difficulties surrounding the Police and the Homosexual Community," could hear directly from concerned individuals and organizations. The event, held at Jarvis Collegiate (495 Jarvis Street), included bitter testimony of police harassment from individuals, and briefs and recommendations from nine gay, lesbian, and feminist organizations. For example, James Fraser of the Lesbian and Gay History Group presented a brief outlining the historical evolution of poor relationships between police and gay people in Toronto (later published as the booklet A Gay View of Gay/Police Relations). RTPC presented twenty-six recommendations. (See also August 28, 1981, and September 24, 1981.)
