Description

May 9 Toronto About a hundred lesbians met informally at the 519 Church Street Community Centre to have brunch and hear a five-woman panel (Kathy Arnup, Amy Gottlieb, Vicki Kelman, Judy Liefschultz, and MariRuth Morton) discuss the possibility of forming a new lesbian group in Toronto. Lorna Weir was one of the organizers of the event, which was an attempt to set the groundwork for the establishment of a new lesbian political and social organization in the wake of the closing of the Fly-by-Night and the dissolution of LOOT. On June 17, 1981, LAR was launched.
