Description

November 10 Montréal ADGQ filed a complaint with the Québec Human Rights Commission against Québec Liberal party leader Claude Ryan after Ryan commented in the magazine L'Actualité that one of the reasons for his marriage was that he did not want to "passer pour un maudit homosexuel" ("pass for a damned homosexual"). The commission dismissed the complaint in 1979 after it concluded the remark was an innocent joke.
