Thousands of Canadians lost careers in the military, the RCMP and other government services. The policy continued into the 1990s.
Carleton University historian Patrizia Gentile, co-author of “,” traces the purge to the hysteria and paranoia of the Cold War 1950s.
Canada partially decriminalized homosexuality in 1969. When the legislation was first tabled in Parliament in 1967, then-justice minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin’s father, declared there was “no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.” But the program continued for nearly a quarter century, until 1992.
“I can’t say it’s acrimonious,” Douglas said. “It’s not. But we will be persistent and unbending in our pursuit of getting access to those records.”As an undergraduate student and a young gay activist, Elliott had heard of the case of a woman who had been kicked out of the army for being gay. But until he learned of Douglas’s experience, he hadn’t realized it was an organized government program.
Like Ross and Douglas, she was interrogated about her sexual history. She told them she was “confused” and was released. She continued working and was eventually offered a role requiring top-secret clearance. On the day she signed her contract, she bought a Hyundai Pony, her first car.
