Description

December 3–4 London, Ont. Representatives from sixteen member groups of CGRO met to discuss strategy, and agreed to push further for the inclusion of sexual orientation protection in the Ontario Human Rights Code. CGRO also passed a statement of principle that urged gay teachers to be less secretive about their sexual orientation, and rejected assumptions that "gay teachers are a danger to children." This statement was later denounced by London school board education director Douglas McVie, who said that teachers should not discuss their sexual preferences in the classroom at all.
