Description

November 16 Vancouver The Vancouver Sun published a classified advertisement for Gay Tide, the publication of (GATE) (Vancouver), despite winning a Supreme Court of Canada decision on May 22, 1979, which allowed the paper to deny advertising based on personal standards. Publisher Clarke Davey declared that the Vancouver Sun would no longer automatically reject all gay ads. The Sun, however, had recently refused to print an ad for Lesbian Information Line (LIL). On November 17, the Province also published the Gay Tide ad.
