Description

August 17–20 Port Huron, Mich. Lesbians travelling to the third Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, held near Hesperia, Michigan, were refused entry into the United States because of their sexual orientation. A number of other lesbians and gay men had recently been denied entry into the United States. WGU began compiling documentation on border turn-backs to support a public call for an end to such discrimination.
