"For the Record"

Description

Article segment about an inquiry made by the Gay Association of Newfoundland (GAIN) in regard to the book The Joy of Gay Sex. It received a response from the executive assistant to John Crosbie (Federal Justice Minister) saying: "[it] is of the opinion that it would be considered obscene under Section 159 (8) of the Criminal Code".

This article was posted in the Body Politic newsletter. The Body Politic was a queer, activist-based Canadian monthly newsletter that was published from 1971 to 1987. It is one of the most significant queer publications in Canadian history, and played a significant role in amplifying the Gay Liberation Movement and provided a crucial space for queer voices to be heard.
