Back in 1966 or 1967 I did a fund raiser at McGill University for the students who'd formed a Gay/Lesbian Society. They and their supporters provided an audience of about 750 people. Had a good time and I got a great laugh from the audience when I told the following with an English (UK) accent.

"Have you heard? Basil's living in Africa with an ape?"

"Male or female ape?"

"Why female of course; nothing queer about Basil."


People's people, folks. I am glad that these new laws are coming into effect. It's about time, IMO.
