Administrative history
Lesbian and Gay Rights Nova Scotia (LGRNS) was an activist organization founded in 1987. In 1991 LGRNS lobbied the provincial government for explicit recognition of sexual orientation as a prohibited grounds for discrimination in the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act, the first provincial jurisdiction to do so. LGRNS held a number of demonstrations to petition the Nova Scotian and later the federal government to include sexual orientation in the Human Rights Code. The organization also hosted speakers, media and Pride events before they closed operations in 1994.
