Presented by the Minister of Justice, the Québec policy against homophobia comprises strategic guidelines and choices targeting the attainment of social equality for members of sexual minorities, thereby making Québec a truly unprejudiced society.
These guidelines seek to recognize the realities face by sexual minority members; promote respect of their rights; promote their wellbeing, notably by offering services adapted to their needs; and, finally, ensure a concerted approach involving all social players in the fight against homophobia.
The policy was developed in the wake of the report De l’égalité juridique à l’égalité sociale – Vers une stratégie nationale de lutte contre l’homophobie, produced by the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse in March 2007.
