Quebec Readies All out Fight Against "Homophobia" with Pro-Gay Gov't Ministry, Ads, Education
By John-Henry Westen

MONTREAL, March 16, 2007(LifeSiteNews.com) - A report issued at the behest of the provincial government of Quebec directs the government to fight homopshobia and heterosexism in every sphere of public life and especially in schools. Quebec's Justice minister asked the Quebec Human Rights Commission to create a task force in 2005, and that group has published its report called "From legal equality to social equality: toward a national strategy to fight against homophobia".

The report ascribes to homophobia negative consequences of what many acknowledge as problems associated with disordered sexuality. The report says that homosexual, bisexual and transsexual persons are "a population at risk," noting that they experience higher rates of psychological distress, depression, illegal drug use, alcoholism, and suicidal tendencies. The report claims that these afflictions are the result of heterosexist "social stigmatization" and "homophobia".
