Spotlight on LGBTQ Rights in the Canadian Military,
Conflict Zones, and in Refugee Claims
SOGIC | Original Program Date: April 29, 2016
How are gender identity and sexual orientation issues handled in the Canadian military? How are the same issues handled for LGBT refugees who claim asylum in Canada?
Join us for a moderated panel discussion surrounding the treatment of the LGBT community in the Canadian military, both at home and while abroad in war zones. Engage in a timely discussion on the treatment of LGBT refugees, including Syrian refugees, in Canada.
