Although we've made a lot of progress on the legal and political front, homophobia, violence and discrimination still threaten the LGBTQ community in Canada. I hear many stories at Pride Parades and online of people who know people who have been bashed. It is estimated that 98% of gay bashings still go unreported, and hate-crimes statistics are not accurate because these incidents are never taken into account. There is still much more work to be done to address bullying and trans rights in Canada. Like Prime Minister Trudeau recently said at the U.N- "Canada is still a work in progress".
