Description

October 15–16 Montréal The Congrès national de tous les gai(e)s du Québec/First National Congress of Gay Men and Lesbians in Québec was organized by ADGQ and held at the Saint-Pierre Apôtre Centre. The conference was the first opportunity for a province-wide dialogue on gay liberation, the building of a united movement in Québec, and the future launching of a Québec gay coalition. The gathering included plenaries, reports, panels, workshops, and a dance. On October 15, 125 people marched through downtown Montréal in pouring rain to support the inclusion of "sexual orientation" in Québec and Canadian human rights legislation, the reinstatement of John Damien, and an end to police repression against the gay community.
