2SLGBTQ+ Rights in Canada

Since the late 1960s, the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Canada has seen steady gains in rights. While discrimination against 2SLGBTQ+ people persists in many places, major strides toward mainstream social acceptance and formal legal equality have nonetheless been made in recent decades. Canada is internationally regarded as a leader in this field. Recent years have seen steady progress on everything from health care to the right to adopt. 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. It was the first Canadian sitcom to be developed from a YouTube series (Letterkenny Problems), as well as the first series developed by the Canadian streaming service Crave TV. Known for its witty writing, deadpan humour and quirky rural vernacular, Letterkenny was a critical and commercial success in Canada and a cult hit internationally — a rarity for a Canadian sitcom. 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. Letterkenny spawned two spinoffs: the animated comedy Little Kenny and Shoresy, which also stars Keeso.

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.

Liberal Party of Canada

The centre-left Liberal Party of Canada has dominated federal politics for much of Canada’s history. Its formula for success, developed under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, is to straddle the political centre. Liberals have formed numerous governments and provided Canada with 10 prime ministers. They include William Lyon Mackenzie King, Lester B. Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. Due to their electoral dominance, the Liberals are sometimes seen as Canada’s “natural governing party.” But the party has also experienced defeat and internal divisions. After the Sponsorship Scandal in the early 2000s, the party spent a decade in the political wilderness. In October 2015, the Liberals surged from third place to first in the House of Commons, winning a majority government under Justin Trudeau. The Liberals then won two consecutive minority governments in 2019 and 2021 before Trudeau resigned in early 2025. He was replaced as leader and prime minister by former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney, who was elected with a minority government on 28 April 2025.
