Summary: Chch Gays To Plan Action (Press, 16 January 1981)
A meeting is scheduled for tomorrow in Christchurch for lesbians and homosexuals to formulate their response to a recently released Human Rights Commission report. This report addressed representations made by the National Gay Rights Coalition, and it has sparked considerable anger among its members. Mr D. Bisman, the coalition’s regional representative, expressed feelings of being insulted by the report, describing it as "2 J pages of vacillation and unseemly buck-passing." He emphasised the coalition's frustration with the report's lack of decisive action. Additionally, Mr K. Green, the national coalition’s co-ordinator, suggested that the only option left for those feeling strongly about their lack of rights may involve civil disobedience. This suggestion will be one of the key topics discussed at the upcoming meeting, as coalition members seek to address their concerns and determine a course of action.
