No. LGBTQ
people want
the same rights
as all people in
Canada – to live their
true lives free from
discrimination.
According to
the United
Nations, there is
no link between
homosexuality and
child abuse. LGBTQ
people all over the world
can be excellent parents,
teachers and role
models.

LGBTQ

Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender
and Queer. These

ways that people
express their sexual
orientation and
gender identity.

Yes. Canadian
law recognizes
the right of
consenting adults
to have private
sexual relationships.
Canadian law also
recognizes same sex
marriage.
No. Many
LGBTQ people
have strong family
values. They want
to marry, have
children and have
strong relationships
with their extended
families. Love
makes a family.
Why do some
people want to
change their sex
or gender?
Transgender
people feel that
their inner selves
are different from
the sex and gender
that others see.
They may want
to change their
clothing or bodies
to match their
inner selves.

A person’s
sexuality is not a
disease. Most people
feel that they were
born with their sexual
orientation, and trying
to change what is
natural can cause
them great harm.

Definitions
Sexual Orientation: Everyone
has a sexual orientation – a
physical, romantic and/or
emotional attraction towards
other individuals. Gay men
and Lesbian women are attracted
to people of the same sex and
Straight men and women are
attracted to people of the opposite
sex. Bisexual people may be
attracted to both males and
females. There are some people
who feel no sexual attraction;
they are asexual.
Gender Identity: Everyone has
a gender identity – an internal
and individual experience of
gender. A person’s gender
identity is who they feel they
truly are, male, female or other.
This could be the same or
different from the sex they
were determined to be at birth.
LGBTTQQ2SA: This is part
of the range of human sexual
orientation and gender identity,
including people who identify
as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Transsexual,
Intersexed, Queer, Questioning,
2Spirit, Asexual or Allies of
LGBTQ people.
Homophobia: Homophobia is a
learned dislike, fear or hatred of
LGBTQ people.
