Description

January 31 Fredericton, N.B. The Atlantic Gay Association/Association des Gai(e)s de l'Atlantique (AGA) was formed at a regional conference hosted by FLAG, January 30–February 1, 1981. Other participating groups included GAE and Northern Lambda Nord (New Brunswick and Maine). The goals of the AGA included promoting social contacts among gay men and lesbians in the Atlantic region, providing counselling and social services for the gay community, and working to counter discrimination against gays and lesbians. The AGA also hoped to make a submission to the Kent Commission, which was investigating monopoly restrictions in the press, concerning the refusal of newspapers to publish gay advertising.
