SUMMARY:Canada Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, Ontario and British Columbia became the first two provinces to legalize same-sex marriage. The federal Civil Marriage Act came into force on 20 July 2005\, making same-sex marriage legal across Canada. Canada became the fourth country to permit same-sex marriages\, after the Netherlands (2000)\, Belgium (2003) and Spain (2005). Since then\, all provinces in Canada have recognized same-sex marriages. Marriage itself falls under federal jurisdiction in Canada. But the provinces regulate the solemnization of marriage (the formal ceremony that is either civil or religious). They also grant marriage licenses. \nhttps://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/same-sex-marriage-in-canada

SUMMARY:International Nonbinary People’s Day
DESCRIPTION:International Non-Binary People’s Day is observed each year on 14 July and is aimed at raising awareness and organising around the issues faced by non-binary people around the world. The day was first celebrated in 2012\, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Men’s Day and International Women’s Day. \nMost countries in the world do not recognize non-binary as a legal gender\, meaning most self-identified non-binary people still have a passport matching their assigned sex and official identification. Australia\, Argentina\, Bangladesh\, Canada\, Denmark\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, New Zealand\, and the United States include non-binary gender options on passports\, and 23 US states plus Washington DC allow residents to mark their gender as ‘X’ on their driving licence. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Non-Binary_People%27s_Day

SUMMARY:Stonewall Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:The Stonewall riots\, also known as the Stonewall uprising\, Stonewall rebellion\, or simply Stonewall\, were a series of spontaneous protests by members of the gay community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28\, 1969\, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall\, other Village lesbian and gay bars\, and neighborhood street people fought back when the police became violent. The riots are widely considered the watershed event that transformed the gay liberation movement and the twentieth-century fight for LGBT rights in the United States. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots

SUMMARY:U.S. Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage
DESCRIPTION:The availability of legally recognized same-sex marriage in the United States expanded from one state (Massachusetts) in 2004 to all fifty states in 2015 through various court rulings\, state legislation\, and direct popular votes. States each have separate marriage laws\, which must adhere to rulings by the Supreme Court of the United States that recognize marriage as a fundamental right guaranteed by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution\, as first established in the 1967 landmark civil rights case of Loving v. Virginia. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_the_United_States

SUMMARY:Operation Soap (aka Toronto Bathhouse Raids) Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Although many gay bathhouses had previously been raided in Canada and other smaller raids followed\, Operation Soap is considered a special turning point in the history of the lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender community in Canada; the raids and their aftermath are today widely considered to be the Canadian equivalent of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City.  Mass protests and rallies were held denouncing the incident. \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Soap

SUMMARY:Holocaust Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:This day remembers the terrible legacy of the Holocaust\, the systematic state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately 6 million Jews\, by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators between 1933 and 1945. HRC also remembers the millions of ethnic minorities\, people with disabilities and political opponents of the Nazis killed during this period. This included LGBTQ+ people\, who suffered severe\, targeted persecution under the Nazi regime. \nInternational Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed every January 27 to mark the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. We must remember our history to honor the dead and protect future generations. \nBefore the Nazis came to power\, both the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities were thriving. LGBTQ+ communities were growing across Germany\, especially in cities such as Berlin\, Hamburg and Frankfurt. Gay men and lesbians formed social clubs\, published gay and lesbian journals and newspapers and openly advocated for the repeal of Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code\, a statute that outlawed sexual relations between men. These groups also joined with advocates for reforming laws around sex work and reproductive rights. The Jewish sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld started the Institute for Sexual Sciences in Berlin\, a community center that promoted diversity among sexual orientations and gender identities and provided services including medical care\, professional training and sexual education. The institute even provided healthcare for transgender patients and its staff performed some of the first modern gender-affirming surgeries. \nThis increased visibility changed dramatically when the Nazis began a campaign of repression against vulnerable populations across Germany. As the Nazis began targeting the Jewish people\, they also began raiding gay and lesbian bars and cafes and shut down LGBTQ+ publishing houses. They attacked the Institute for Sexual Sciences\, forcing it to close and burning thousands of the institute’s books\, articles and patient files. In 1936\, the Nazi regime established the Reich Central Office for the Combating of Homosexuality and Abortion\, cementing a link between anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes and the movement against reproductive choice. Paragraph 175 was used to arrest about 100\,000 men for engaging in same-sex activity and over half were convicted. Between 5\,000 and 15\,000 of those convicted were imprisoned in concentration camps and forced to wear a pink triangle to identify them as gay. Those marked by the pink triangle were subject to severe physical and sexual abuse by guards and fellow inmates. \nWithin Germany\, the liberation of the concentration camps and defeat of the Nazi regime did not bring immediate relief to the LGBTQ+ community. Male same-sex relations were not decriminalized until 1967 in East Germany and 1969 in West Germany\, so many survivors faced reimprisonment. It was not until the 1990s that the German government finally acknowledged gay men as victims of the Nazis. Paragraph 175 was repealed in 1994 and Nazi-era convictions under the law were overturned in 2002. \nhttps://www.hrc.org/news/hrc-observes-international-holocaust-remembrance-day
