A large North American federation shaped by Indigenous nations, French and British history, and modern multiculturalism.
Queer History
Canada partially decriminalized consensual same-sex relations in 1969, but police raids and the federal LGBT Purge continued to shape community resistance and Pride organizing. Federal human-rights protection added sexual orientation in 1996, equal marriage became national law in 2005, and the government formally apologized for historic state discrimination in 2017.
Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and other cities host highly visible LGBTQ+ communities. Same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide since 2005.
