In May of 1995, Sexual Orientation was included in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Canada's Parliament passed Bill C-23 in 2000 that gave same-sex couples the same social and tax benefits as heterosexuals in common-law relationships
.
The Civil Marriage Act was established in 2005 that legalized same-sex marriage across Canada.

Canada was the fourth country to permit same sex marriages.

Although Canada was ahead of the curve in legalizing same-sex marriage and decriminalizing homosexuality, the fact remains that it was one illegal to be homosexual in Canada. Some of these residual attitudes carry through to present day and there was still prejudices experienced by LGBTQ+ community in Canada. I believe that this can be exacerbated by religious and conservative beliefs of a 'traditional family' as well as traditional ideas about gender and gender roles.]]> 2022-06-04 20:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jennamoase/6ynd59pkdbcmpg6w/wish/2211061954 ReanneMitchell https://padlet.com/jennamoase/6ynd59pkdbcmpg6w/wish/2211069500 Brazil is one of the most accepting Latin American countries when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights.
