Free societies don't censor

   Censorship has always been a powerful tool used to intimidate
the lesbigay community. Canada Customs has repeatedly harassed
lesbian, gay and feminist bookstores by seizing materials at the
border. Right-wing politicians and media have attacked arts
institutions that dare to include queer content in their artistic
activities. All three major parties in Parliament recently
supported a pornography bill that was universally condemned by
civil libertarians as a threat to freedom of expression.
   CensorStop is an organization attempting to create awareness
about the threat of censorship in Canada. The group has been active
in Toronto for some time, and local groups have recently been
established in cities across the country, from Vancouver to
Halifax.
   Write to CensorStop for information on how you can get involved.
You may also want to contact your local lesbian, gay or feminist
bookstore.
