Justin Trudeau To Offer Formal Apology For LGBTQ Persecution

 

(Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau)

Justin Trudeau will rise in the House of Commons on Nov. 28 to offer a historic apology to Canadians who were criminally prosecuted or dismissed from the military or public service because they were gay, reports The Globe And Mail.

The Prime Minister’s apology is expected to be the most comprehensive ever offered by any national government for past persecution of sexual minorities.
