Canada has imported a lot of the same culture war BS as the US. If you're LGBTQ or support human rights Canada is not much better.

- MattGaiser 2y agoThere’s a major difference. Those people are out of power in Canada.
- DanHulton 2y agoI think I know roughly where you're coming from -- I mean we absolutely have our share of bigots in or seeking power -- I don't think you realize how very bad it has gotten in the USA very recently. I have friends who fit in the categories you are describing, who have definitely put up with some shit occasionally here in Canada that would not dream of even visiting the USA, and know people in the USA who are actively looking to escape northward, in fear for their literal lives. With a looming election that has a cartoonishly, Trumpian, "populist evil" candidate for the leadership of our country, yeah it could definitely get worse, and even to the same amount quite easily. But at least for now, there's a very real -- though definitely not perfect -- refuge for LGBTQ2A+ of all stripes up here.
