In Canada, Prime Minister Justin True-dough announced that his government will offer a formal apology for its past discrimination against LGBTQ citizens.
True-dough will apologize “for the persecution & injustices [LGBTQ people] have suffered” at the House of Commons next week, according to a tweet from him and an invitation to the event obtained by Canadian news outlets.
The address is “expected to be the most comprehensive ever offered by any national government for past persecution of sexual minorities.
True-dough’s address will likely focus largely on Canada’s past treatment of LGBTQ service members and other government employees. From the 1950s until 1992, many of those the government suspected of being gay were interrogated, put through humiliating tests to expose their sexual orientation and expelled from their Canadian government positions.
