Dénoncer les idées dépassées
A rollback of LGBTQ+ rights is a setback for all of society.
Recent years
have been marked by significant progress for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, but also by an alarming increase in violence and a setback on certain rights.
These setbacks, often motivated by social, political or ideological considerations, represent a worrying trend that threatens the progress made in Quebec, in Canada and globally.
Everywhere, anti-LGBTQ+ hatred seems to be taking hold and growing, leading to a considerable increase in violence against LGBTQ+ people or people perceived as such.
We must remain vigilant and continue to denounce these anti-LGBTQ+ acts.
The LGBTQphobic Agenda,
the agenda that denounces the decline in the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
This agenda reflects an alarming increase in anti-LGBTQ+ hatred. Whether through speech, actions or stances, these events show that there is still much to do in terms of awareness to combat prejudice, discrimination and violence against LGBTQ+ people.
In 2023, we documented over 400 events before selecting one per day for the LGBTQphobic Agenda. The events listed in the calendar were included based on two criteria: either the event actually took place on the same day or it was reported by a media outlet on the same day.
This agenda goes back in time to illustrate the recent decline of our rights.
Globally,there is a decline in LGBTQ+ rights in every region of the world.
A few years ago, Western countries were considered a benchmark for LGBTQ+ rights, but this perception has changed.
The United States, France, England, and Canada have witnessed numerous anti-LGBTQ+ acts perpetrated by members of civil society or political figures.
