T.E. I MONTREAL angry at gay group's threat of 'outing', aide says behalf. "What do they want?" he asked. "For us to go on our hands and knees, apologize to the minister and say, 'We'll never, ever consider this tactic'? "We'll never do that," he said. other possible pressure tactics do we have at our disposal? Are we supposed to hold a demonstration every two days?" As minister responsible for the Quebec Charter of Rights, Le Clerc added, it is duty to meet with groups, like gays, that suffer discrimination.

He said it is hypocritical of to refuse to meet his group out of concern for the right to privacy, when he is failing to respect Charter guarantees that protect gays from discrimination by amending discriminatory legislation that denies recognition of gay spousal relationships. "We'll play fair when this minister starts to play fair," he said. "I'm still expecting a meeting on April 2, and if the minister's office wants to change that, they should get in touch with me." Le Clerc's suggestion that gays groups consider "outing" prominent Quebec gays has already drawn rebuke from the chairman of Quebec's Human Rights Commission, Yves Lafontaine, who says it would violate the right to privacy. The idea was originally suggested by Le Clerc as a possible means of persuading Quebec to hold a public inquiry on discrimination against gays.

The aide, Linda Dion, said is "perfectly willing" to meet members of the gay-rights Table de Concertation des Lesbiennes et Gais du Grand But first, she said, they'll have to disavow publicly and unambiguously the tactic of publicly divulging the names of gays in Quebec's power circles. Until then, Dion said, any talk of a meeting with is premature. On Tuesday, gay-rights activist Roger Le Clerc said his group had dropped the "hypothesis" of threatening to divulge the identities of prominent homosexuals a controversial practice known as "outing" after agreed to a meeting with his group. But Dion said yesterday she wasn't convinced the threat has been entirely ruled out, and that no meeting has been finalized, or will be, until the controversial tactic kmown as "outing" has been completely repudiated. "If you look at what they're saying, the threat still seems to be there," she said in a telephone interview.

Le Clerc reacted angrily to Dion's remarks, insisting that Dion herself WORLD Gorbachev urges Russia to call early elections SOUTHAM NEWS CALGARY The political upheaval in Russia can only be solved by a combination of presidential and legislative elections, former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev said yesterday. "The important thing is that we should have new elections that would generate new people while the situation is relatively peaceful," Gorbachev said after his arrival here for a series of educational and fund-raising events. "There is a need for these elections because the situation will become worse and more complicated in the future," he said through an interpreter during a brief news conference. Gorbachev, who survived an attempted coup in Russia only to lose his authority in the breakup of the Soviet Union into the Commonwealth of Independent States, said it was not important whether he continued to be politically active. Boris Yeltsin, the embattled head of the surviving Russian state, would gain if open elections are held, Gorbachev said.

"But neither Yeltsin, nor the Supreme Soviet have suggested such elections," he said. Yeltsin is locked in a power struggle with powerful opponents in the Congress of People's Deputies, the 1.033-member Russian parliament.
