Trudeau: End transgender discrimination

AFP

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday announced legislation to protect transgender people from hate speech and discrimination. The bill is to be officially unveiled by Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould on Tuesday, the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. It will add “gender identity” alongside race, religion, age, sex and sexual orientation as prohibited grounds for discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act, and add transgender persons to a list of groups protected from hate-mongering under the Criminal Code. Trudeau will be the first sitting prime minister to participate in a gay pride parade, which will be held in Montreal in July.
