Over the past 50 years, Canada has taken important steps to recognize the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people. The elimination in 1969 of laws regulating consensual same-sex conduct, the 1995 inclusion in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms of sexual orientation as a prohibited ground for discrimination and the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2005 stand out as milestone victories in the pursuit of equal rights for all Canadians. Most recently, in May 2016, the Government of Canada introduced legislation to protect transgender Canadians and prevent discrimination based on gender identity and expression.
