"Newfoundland gays urge broad reading of Charter rights"
Description
Article reporting that the Gay Association in Newfoundland had presented a brief to the House of Commons Sub-Committee on Equality Rights to advocate for gay liberation. Wally Upward presented on behalf of GAIN, the Provincial Advisory Council on the Status of Women, and the St. John's Status of Women's Council to include sexual orientation in Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There was a lot of coverage of GAIN's involvement despite the group being refused advertising space in most newspapers. The article details GAIN's recommended additions and includes some quotes from the House of Commons members.
