Right against rights [while gay/lesbian community waits for NDP to act on human
rights re sexual orientation, "at least two groups" have been working against
changes -- REAL Women of Saskatchewan (Cecilia Forsyth, communications

Haslett?], director); etc.].
P76 (v10n7)(Oct. 28, 1992): 9 (48cm.)
The battle heats up [a year after Saskatchewan NDP came to power, increasing attacks
from both sides regarding sexual orientation protection legislation; Donna
Greschner, head of Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, has requested
immediate action, while right-wing Dale Hassett and his Coalition in Support
of the Family are struggling to prevent change; EGALE Regina is urging gays/
lesbians to write to their MLAs on the issue].
P77 (v10n8)(Dec. 9, 1992): 10 (64cm.)
Pamphlet not hate literature [Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission preliminary
ruling is that anti-gay and lesbian pamphlet titled "Your MLA Doesn't Want
You to Read This," circulated by Insight Magazine (which is connected to the
Coalition in Support of the Family) does not constitute hate literature; reactions;
etc.].
P79 (v11n2)(March 10, 1993): 10-11 (45cm.)
70,000 names ["opponents of lesbians and gay men are still working behind the scene in
Saskatchewan to have Bill 38, which was passed in 1993, overturned"; this
legislation added sexual orientation as ground on which discrimination illegal in
employment, housing, and services; Coalition in Support of the Family, headed
by Dale Hassett, a 24-year-old associate pastor at the Christian Church in
Leader, Saskatchewan, claims to have gathered 70,000 names calling for
plebiscite; considerable amount of information on Hassett, his opinions, and his
group].
P87 (v12n2)(March 9, 1994): 11 (46cm.)
At it again [another mailing of leaflet, "The Real Issues," by Coalition in Support of the
Family; mailed to 20,000 homes in northern Saskatchewan; distasteful, but does
not meet criteria for hate literature, Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission
says; etc.].
P92 (v12n7)(Oct. 26, 1994): 12 (29cm.)
