    George Hislop

    George Hislop, entrepreneur, advocate for gay and lesbian rights (born 3 June 1927 in Toronto ON; died 8 October 2005 in Toronto, ON). One of the most visible spokespersons for queer people throughout the 1980s, George Hislop was known as the “unofficial mayor of the Toronto gay community.” In 1971, he helped establish the Community Homophile Association of Toronto (CHAT). It became a major advocate for gays and lesbians as they struggled against police harassment and other forms of homophobia. In 1980, he ran for a seat on Toronto City Council — one of the first openly gay individuals to run for office. In 2001, Hislop became the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against the federal government. It pressed for equal recognition of federal pension benefits for gay couples. The plaintiffs won in 2007, shortly after Hislop’s death.
