Description

December 2 Calgary After the manager of the King's Arms Tavern ("The Pit") at the Palliser Hotel (133 Ninth Avenue S.W.) denied further service to about forty people seated in the "gay" section of the bar, six policemen arrived to assist him in evicting more than twenty patrons. The King's Arms had been popular with a regular gay clientele for years, but starting with a renovation of the tavern in May 1977, relations between patrons and management had deteriorated.
