Description

June 10 Vancouver The B.C. Court of Appeal, in a two-to-one decision, overturned the B.C. Supreme Court's ruling supporting GATE (Vancouver) in its complaint against the Vancouver Sun. The Court of Appeal ruled that the Sun had reasonable cause for not printing a classified ad for GATE (Vancouver), advertising subscriptions to its newspaper, Gay Tide. GATE (Vancouver) vowed to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. (See also October 17, 1977, and October 5, 1978.)
