Description

March 12 Regina Representatives of SAHR presented a brief to Ned Shillington, Minister of Cooperation and Cooperative Affairs, urging the Saskatchewan government to include sexual orientation in proposed amendments to the provincial Human Rights Act. SAHR also coordinated what was called "the largest gay rights demonstration ever held on the Prairies." About 125 people marched before the Saskatchewan Legislature in support of the amendment. The marchers were hit by a few eggs and were photographed by undercover policemen. The march was followed by a panel discussion entitled "Perspectives on the Struggle for Gay Liberation," attended by more than seventy-five people. The panel members included Walter Davis (After Stonewall), Mallory Neuman and Bev Siller (activists from Regina), and Doug Wilson (GCCS).
