História administrativa

The Association of Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Ottawa (ALGBO) is a bilingual organization, also known as L’Association des lesbiennes, des gais et des bisexuels de l’Outaouais, which is based in the National Capital region.

This group was founded on September 17, 1971 by 10 gay men, which first called themselves the Gays of Ottawa (GO). Lesbians were incorporated into the organization in 1977 and by 1989 the name was officially changed to the Association of Lesbians and Gays of Ottawa (ALGO). In 1993, the name changed once again to include bisexuals.

ALGBO is also a non-profit volunteer association which promotes equal rights and a positive awareness of lesbians, gays and bisexuals through public education and political, social and legal action. The organization holds community events, which are run by various committees such as the Coffeehouse Committee, the Fundraising Committee and the Go Info Publishing Committee. The latter was established in 1972 and published the bilingual community paper Go Info.

The Political Action Committee of the Association of Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Ottawa / Comité d’action politique de l’association des lesbiennes, des gais et des bisexuels de l’Outaouais (CAP-ALGO-PAC) is also very active. It tries to accomplish political action in all levels of Canadian government. Some of their activities include the formation of a political platform for the 1993 federal election.

The Association of Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Ottawa is a member of the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario (CLGRO), the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC) and the BiNet USA. It is also one of 200 groups worldwide belonging to the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA). All these groups have the common goal of promoting equal human rights to bisexuals, women, lesbians and gays.

Although ALGBO had to close down in 1995, this association offered a sense of community to those lesbians, gays and bisexuals in the National Capital region and provided a legacy to the Ottawa community, by being the longest on-going Canadian organization of its kind at that time.

L'Association des lesbiennes, des gais et des bisexuels d'Ottawa (ALGBO) est une organisation bilingue, également connue sous le nom de L'Association des lesbiennes, des gais et des bisexuels de l'Outaouais, qui est basée dans la région de la capitale nationale.

Ce groupe a été fondé le 17 septembre 1971 par 10 hommes gais, qui se sont d'abord appelés les Gais d'Ottawa (GO). Les lesbiennes ont été incorporées à l'organisation en 1977 et, en 1989, le nom a été officiellement changé pour devenir l'Association des lesbiennes et des gais d'Ottawa (ALGO). En 1993, le nom a été modifié une nouvelle fois pour inclure les bisexuels.

L'ALGBO est également une association bénévole à but non lucratif qui promeut l'égalité des droits et une sensibilisation positive des lesbiennes, des gays et des bisexuels par le biais de l'éducation du public et de l'action politique, sociale et juridique. L'organisation organise des événements communautaires, gérés par différents comités tels que le comité du café, le comité de collecte de fonds et le comité de publication de Go Info. Ce dernier a été créé en 1972 et publie le journal communautaire bilingue Go Info.

Le Comité d'action politique de l'association des lesbiennes, des gais et des bisexuels de l'Outaouais / Political Action Committee of the Association of Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Ottawa (CAP-ALGO-PAC) est également très actif. Il tente d'accomplir une action politique à tous les niveaux du gouvernement canadien. Parmi ses activités, on peut citer l'élaboration d'une plate-forme politique pour les élections fédérales de 1993.

L'Association des lesbiennes, gays et bisexuels d'Ottawa est membre de la Coalition pour les droits des lesbiennes et des gays en Ontario (CLGRO), du Comité d'action national sur le statut de la femme (NAC) et de BiNet USA. Il est également l'un des 200 groupes du monde entier appartenant à l'International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA). Tous ces groupes ont pour objectif commun de promouvoir l'égalité des droits de l'homme pour les bisexuels, les femmes, les lesbiennes et les gays.

Bien que l'ALGBO ait dû fermer ses portes en 1995, cette association a offert un sentiment de communauté aux lesbiennes, aux gays et aux bisexuels de la région de la capitale nationale et a laissé un héritage à la communauté d'Ottawa, en étant l'organisation canadienne de ce type la plus ancienne à l'époque.
