Description

November 15 Hamilton George Hislop and Cil Pinkett of CHAT addressed about fifty students at McMaster University on the subject of homosexuality and gay liberation. The meeting was seen as a step towards organizing a gay group at the University but no one in the audience admitted to being gay or came forward to start a local group. Although attempts had been made to start a homophile group at McMaster from at least March 1971, they had been unsuccessful. Later, stimulated by this visit, Dr. John Stewart and Susan Rosenthal decided to form a gay liberation organization at McMaster University. Several meetings followed and the Hamilton-McMaster Gay Liberation Movement (GLM) emerged in January 1973. (see also January 1973.)
