1991, January 2 (Wednesday) * Gligor Murders (Kitchener)

On p.A1 of The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario), 2007, April 21, there was an article by Melinda Dalton, Record Staff entitled “DNA and a tip crack brutal 1991 slaying of couple” reviewing how the Gligor murder case had finally been solved. Information from that article follows. The reporter noted that on 1991, January 2, Josef Gligor (61) and his wife Persa Gligor (60) had been found brutally murdered in their Madison Avenue home in Kitchener. “In 1991, police said Josef Gligor, an employee of J. M. Schneider Inc.,was known to seek out transient homosexual encounters in downtown Kitchener, and they believed his behaviour may have put him risk.” Insp. Bryan Larkin indicated in the 2007 interview with the reporter that in the early days, there had been much public and police speculation that Gligor's homosexual behaviour had been a factor in the murders. The article also indicated that “A psychological profile of the suspect released by police shortly after the killings suggested he was a psychopathic killer linked to the gay community. Police said Joseph Gligor likely knew his killer and invited him into the house. Yesterday, those claims were laid to rest as police revealed they no longer believed the Gligors knew their killer and that the likely motive was robbery.” The report said that a tip, along with DNA evidence, allowed the police to prove conclusively on 2007, April 20 that the murderer had been James Harold Middeljans (33), who had a lengthy criminal record, and who had perished in a fire two years after the murder. After 16 years, all the speculation about a link between the murders and the local gay community was finally put to rest.

On p.A1 of The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario), 1991, February 20 Wednesday Home Edition, there was an article by Greg Crone, Record staff, entitled “K-W gays angered they weren't warned” This article involved interviews with various members of the gay community. The article included numerous comments by Larry MacLean (the Executive Director of ACCKWA), indicating concern that the police had failed to notify the gay community of a possible connection between the Gligor murders and the gay community; he raised the spectre of a gay-basher posing as a gay man. He also suggested that police begin working with gay organizations to combat homophobia. There were also several comments from people at Circles (a gay dance club and bar at 24 Charles St. W., later the site of Club Renaissance); although some people expressed concerns similar to that of McLean, the owner of Circles, Tom Riedel said that he was satisfied with how the police had handled the situation.

1991, March * The GLLOW Pages

The header of this issue was “The GLLOW Pages. Sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo. Issue 1, Volume 1. March 1991.” The issue was supplied as an insert to the 1991, March issue of the Pink Triangle Community Calendar. Pages 2, 3, and 4 were numbered, and the issue was in a standard 21.6 cm x 14.0 cm (8.5" x 5.5") format.

The first page of the issue began with a Welcome section, in which the purpose of the publication was laid out; it included a call for articles, comments and letters to the editor. The rest of the first page included the beginning of a lengthy article on GLLOW (under the header “This Month's Spotlight”), pointing out that 1991 marked the 20th anniversary of the establishment of GLLOW. This article (which continued on to p.3 and then p.4) also gave some history of GLLOW and details of its services: its peer counselling phoneline, library and dances. It also floated some ideas for future projects: more activism, more educational educational public speaking, a new version of the Operation Socrates handbook from the early 1970s, and increased marketing of GLLOW and its services.

The second page began with an article entitled “On Our Own Terms: Gays and Lesbians vs. The Law.” It was a review of a book with the title On Our Own Terms that was to be published by the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario by the end of February, 1991 (80 pages, soft cover, at a cost of $7.95 plus shipping and taxes). It was described as a “unique guidebook, recommended for anyone uncertain as to how legal issues affect gays and lesbians.” The article concluded with ordering details.

The third page began with a section entitled “GLLOW Turns 20 - with amnesia!” which gave the starting date of GLLOW (as the Waterloo Universities' Gay Liberation Movement) as March 8, 1971. It also announced that there would be a 20th anniversary celebration of the group on March 23, 1991 in room 280 of Hagey Hall at the University of Waterloo from 7 pm to 1 am. The article concluded with an appeal for information about the history of the group over the previous 20 years, and promised that the celebration would include a panel discussion by former members of the group.

The front page of this issue was headed UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE, and the article recounts the author's experience speaking as a gay man on a GLLOW panel before a group of forty high-school students at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School. The experience was described as very positive one, with some of the students inviting the panel afterwards to go with them to a local restaurant.

1991, April * The GLLOW Pages

The header of this issue was “The GLLOW Pages. Sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo. Issue 2, Vol 1. April 1991.” The issue was supplied as an insert to the 1991, April issue of the Pink Triangle Community Calendar. The pages in the issue were not numbered, and the issue was in a standard 21.6 cm x 14.0 cm (8.5" x 5.5") format.

Much of the first page was devoted to the beginning of “This Month's Spotlight: Safe Sex Gets Hard to Swallow ” - a lengthy article concerning a “gay man's safe sex guide that appeared in the February 15th issue of The Muse” published at Memorial University in Newfoundland. The article gave details of the controversay and sanctions that arose at Memorial University following this event. It also pointed to similar problems that occurred when The Cord, the student newspaper at Wilfrid Laurier University, published a portion of this safe sex guide. The article ended on the fourth page, and gave an excerpt from the original article, as well as spelling out which sexual practices are high, lower and low risk for contracting HIV. The first page also described an attempt to "zap" a pub at Fed Hall (show up and be transparent about being queer), which did not go ahead because only 8 GLLOW members showed up.

The second page included an editorial about problems associated with publishing “The GLLOW Pages.” It also contained a report entitled “GLLOW's 20th ANNIVERSARY A GREAT SUCCESS” - which described the celebration on March 22, referring to the fact that there were about 50 current and former members of GLLOW present, and that there was a discussion panel of 7 past members from different eras. The author suggested that in 1991 it was much easier to come out than 20 years earlier, and that the fight for human rights for the queer community had grown much stronger. The article indicated that there was a desire to hold a 25th anniversary celebration.

The third page of the issue included a large-sized announcement indicating that GLLOW was setting up a womyn's group; it concluded with a cartoon about the GLLOW phoneline.

1991, April 2 (Tuesday) * Gligor Murders (Kitchener): K-W Record: Letter: Had to speak out

On p.A6 of The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario), 1991, April 2, there was a letter written by Larry MacLean of Kitchener entitled “Had to speak out” in response to some criticism over his comments in the February 20 article entitled “Gays Angered They Weren't Warned”. In the letter, the author pointed out that although The Record acknowledged him to be the Executive Director of the AIDS Committee of Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo and Area (ACCKWA), the opinions that he expressed in his letter of February 20th were his own personal opinions, and not necessarily those of ACCKWA.

1991, June (the actual date is unclear) * ACCKWA: Advertises for an Executive Director

We have a photocopy of an advertisement by ACCKWA for an Executive Director. The photocopy does not indicate where the advertisemen appeared; it does however indicate that there was an “immediate need” to fill this position, and that applications were needed by July 2, 1991. Larry MacLean had been the Executive Director from as early as May 25, 1989 until at least as late as April 2, 1991, by which time he had made some public statements that were controversial. At some point in the next couple of months, MacLean ceased to be the Executive Director of ACCKWA.

On p.A1 of The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario), 1991, August 17, there was an article written by Gregory Hamara entitled “Same-sex spouses get benefits from Region”. The article began “Gay and lesbian spouses of Waterloo regional employees are now eligible for full health and dental benefits. In a move quietly approved in May by a subcommittee of regional council, the region made changes to its employee-benefit package to include same-sex partners who live in a conjugal relationship.” The chair of that subcommittee indicated that, in light of a potential human-rights challenge, it would be more cost-effective simply to make the change and not have to fight a challenge. The article pointed out that “Under the region's bylaw, but unlike in Toronto, the change did not need approval by the full council. It was made privately by members of the human resources subcommittee, which deals mostly with internal administrative issues.”

1991, October 2 (Wednesday) * Waterloo Chronicle: Our challenge for life - Education key to AIDS Awareness Week

Our challenge for life - Education key to AIDS Awareness Week This article by Michelle Lahn was based largely on an interview with Lorie Fioze (the newly appointed Executive Director of ACCKWA), who spoke about the goals of AIDS Awareness Week, including education and overcoming barriers associated with the disease. The article indicated that AIDS Awareness Week ran from October 7 to 13, and mentioned some of the special events associated with it, including an ACCKWA benefit at Club Circles (October 5); a lecture by singer/song-writer Holly Near; a conference for counsellors; and a red-ribbon campaign. Fioze pointed out that the disease is appearing more and more in the heterosexual population.

1991, October 3 (Thursday) * K-W Record: United Way 'can't afford' to help AIDS group

United Way 'can't afford' to help AIDS group. This article by Liz Monteiro (Record staff) reports that ACCKWA “was denied full membership in the United Way because organizers say that there aren't enough charitable dollars to go around.” Of five applicants for admission to the United Way, ACCKWA was the only one refused. It was noted that in 1990 ACCKWA had received some funding from the United Way. Some people associated with ACCKWA suggested that perhaps the dismissal of former Executive Director, Larry MacLean, and the resultant internal wrangling within ACCKWA may have contributed to the refusal. Lorie Fioze, the new Executive Director of ACCKWA indicated that she anticipated “establishing a good relationship with the United Way.”

1991, October 21 (Monday) * K-W Record: Fear of AIDS delays probe of Gligor case

Fear of AIDS delays probe of Gligor case. This article by Greg Crone (Record staff) begins “The possibility that blood-spattered evidence at the Gligor murder scene is contaminated with the AIDS-causing virus has stalled the forensic science investigation of the crime.” This article refers to the murders of Josef / Joseph Gligor and his wife that occurred on either January 1 or January 2. Police had speculated that there was a gay connection because Gligor had “frequent homosexual encounters with transients in downtown Kitchener.” NOTE: This news clipping has a hand-written date "10/21/90" on it - but the murders were not committed until several months later; hence we speculate that the correct date of the article is 1991, October 21.

1991, November 22 (Friday) * K-W Record: AIDS clinics get flood of requests for HIV testing

AIDS clinics get flood of requests for HIV testing. This article by Carol Goodwin (Record staff) is based largely on an interview with Josee Duffhues, the local health unit's AIDS program supervisor, who indicated that “AIDS clinics in Waterloo Region are adding staff members to cope with a jump in requests for HIV tesing and counselling.” Duffhues believes that this surge was due to the “disclosure by basketball star Magic Johnson that he has the HIV virus known to lead to AIDS.” The article includes the times that the AIDS clinics are open in Kitchener and Cambridge.

1991, November 22 (Friday) * K-W Record: Test kit alarms officials

Test kit alarms officials. This article refers to the following advertisement that had appeared recently in the Pennysaver (distributed all across southern Ontario): “Home AIDS Test. Assess the risk. Reduce the danger. Discreetly packaged. Master kit, $50, includes all applicable taxes. Additional modules $25 including taxes. Send cheques or money order. Allow 10-12 weeks for delivery.” One government official pointed out that “the product has not been cleared under the Medical Devices Regulations Act.” Josee Duffhues of the Waterloo Region public health unit's AIDS program said “There's no guarantee of accuracy. A home test kit doesn't allow for quality control. And if a test's result are positive, in a worst case scenario a person may commit suicide because there's no support or education component.” Rob Gascho, ACCKWA's education co-ordinator responded “We certainly don't recommend anyone paying money for that. There's no way of knowing how reliable it is.”

1991, December * Pink Triangle Community Calendar (PTCC)

This issue had 8 unnumbered pages, and was the first in the new format, which no longer had a centre-fold for the events listing. Its format size was 21.6 cm x 14.0 cm (8.5" x 5.5"), and the issue was printed on yellow (!) paper, perhaps to signal that something different was happening.

The front page of this issue was headed New Times for GLLOW, and spoke of GLLOW's decision to increase it activities and community involvement. The second unnumbered page contained the Calendar of Events (which are listed in this Chronology), as well as an ad for the Spartacus '91/92 directory/guide for gay men. The third unnumbered page was entitled Travelogue and indicated that in future issues that space would be devoted to a description of various travel locations with an emphasis on their relative safety for members of the gay community; this article concluded on the fifth unnumbered page.

The fourth unnumbered page contained a review of a performance in Toronto by Ron Romanovski and Paul Phillips, a gay singing duo. The fifth unnumbered page contained a piece entitled New Respect for Lady Diana about a visit by Princess Diana to Casey House (Toronto), which began as a hospice for people dying of AIDS. The sixth unnumbered page included a subscription form for the PTCC. The seventh unnumbered page listed general notices and radio shows, as well as a tribute to prominent AIDS researcher Dr. Randall Coates who had died a month earlier.

The back page listed local organizations and clubs; it concluded with some classified ads. The following organizations were listed on the back page: AIDS Committee of Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo and Area (ACCKWA); AIDS Committee of Guelph and Wellington County (ACGWC); Free Spirit Community Church (FSCC); Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo (GLLOW); Guelph Gay and Lesbian Equality (GGLE); Lesbian and Gay Youth of Waterloo Region; OWLS (an informal discussion group for professional lesbians 35 and over); and Women Out Of Doors (WOODS). The Clubs listed were Circles! (Kitchener); The Pink Zone (Kitchener); and The Robin's Nest (Cambridge).

1991, December 31 * WOODS: Membership Renewal Letter

A hand-written letter written by Deb, a WOODS organizer and member of the Planning Committee. The letter is dated December 31, 1991. The full text of the letter is as follows:
“Dear WOODS women,
WOODS is just over 3 years old thanks to your support. WOODS has helped to meet the needs of women wanting an alternative way to socialize through activities such as hiking, biking, and camping, softball games etc. The planning committee is hard at work planning ideas for 1992. We welcome your ideas & suggestions for events that you want to see. So whether you're an experienced athlete or just out to have some fun, come out in '92. It is now time to renew your WOODS membership (it is still $15.00 per year). Your money helps to produce the newsletter to keep you informed of events and at the end of the summer we like to say thanks for your support with a free BBQ picnic. So please renew your membership today to keep you informed (this will be the last newsletter if there is no renewal). We look forward to your support in 1992. Sincerely, Deb (for the Planning Committee). P.S. Over the last year, the WOODS calendars have been packed full of events but the attendance has been only a handful. Is the planning committee missing events that you would like to attend? Please let us know what you would like to see - call us or write to us. Thanks. P.P.S. If you have already renewed for 1992, thank you for your support and please pass this letter to a friend. Thanks.”
