History
The McMaster Homophile Association (MHA), referred to in some documents as the Hamilton-McMaster Homophile Association and the Hamilton-McMaster Gay Liberation Movement, was a student group based at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. The MHA was established in 1973 following a campus visit by George Hislop the previous year. The McMaster Homophile Association maintained a library, published a newsletter, hosted speakers, operated a crisis phone line, and organized dances and other events. The MHA was associated with (and its membership overlapped with) the Congeniality Social Club of Hamilton, a disco that also put on shows with go-go boys and drag performers. In September 1977, Dr. Shane S. Que Hee resigned from his position as Secretary/Treasurer of the McMaster Homophile Association, and the group subsequently disbanded.
