    2SLGBTQ+ Rights in Canada

    Since the late 1960s, the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Canada has seen steady gains in rights.

In 2005, Canada became the fourth country worldwide to legalize same-sex marriage.

    Letterkenny

    Letterkenny (2016–23) was a Canadian sitcom created by Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney.

Letterkenny won 15 Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Comedy Series in 2017 and three awards for Best Writing in a Comedy. In addition to its 81 episodes over 12 seasons, there were also seven Letterkenny specials and five live tours.

    Canada’s Cold War Purge of 2SLGBTQ+ from Public Service

    Between the 1950s and the 1990s, the Canadian government responded to national security concerns generated by Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union by spying on, exposing and removing suspected 2SLGBTQ+ individuals from the federal public service and the Canadian Armed Forces. They were cast as social and political subversives and seen as targets for blackmail by communist regimes seeking classified information. These characterizations were justified by arguments that people who engaged in same-sex relations suffered from a “character weakness” and had something to hide because their sexuality was considered a taboo and, under certain circumstances, was illegal. As a result, the RCMP investigated large numbers of people. Many of them were fired, demoted or forced to resign — even if they had no access to security information. These measures were kept out of public view to prevent scandal and to keep counter-espionage operations under wraps. In 2017, the federal government issued an official apology for its discriminatory actions and policies, along with a $145-million compensation package.
