Description

November 29 Montréal Justice Marc Beauregard of the Quebec Superior Court ruled that the CECM was guilty of discriminating against ADGQ when it refused to rent meeting space to the group on January 25, 1978. This was a precedent-setting case under the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, as in this case the CECM had tried to use religious grounds to seek an exemption from the charter's Article 12, which prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. The CECM appealed the case to the Quebec Court of Appeal, the highest court in Québec.
