Description

October 8–10 Halifax GAE and APPLE sponsored the First Annual Atlantic Gay Conference, "Our Atlantic Gay Community—Uniting against Oppression," held at the Turret Gay Community Centre. Eighty-six delegates attended the conference, which was open to all lesbians and gay men in the four Atlantic provinces. John Damien addressed the opening plenary. There were workshops, three disco evenings, cultural events, a panel discussion, and a march on Province House, the Nova Scotia legislature. This conference was an important milestone for gay organizing in Atlantic Canada, and provided a forum for lesbians and gays from smaller communities without gay organizations.
