Abstract: The Gay Alliance for Equality (G.A.E.) is a mixed group of women and men who are committed to the liberation struggle of lesbians and gay men, particularly in the areas of legal and social discrimination.
G.A.E. is also concerned about the damaging effect of sexual stereotyping. The Alliance is working to change prevailing attitudes towards lesbians and gay men in the 'straight' community. Its educational thrust is directed toward both the public and the gay community. Some of G.A.E.'s projects include a peer counseling service, a bi-weekly newsletter, a speaker's bureau and the Turret Gay Community Centre. Although Halifax-based, G.A.E. has extended its work throughout the Atlantic provinces.
