Last Edited November 26, 2019From the earliest days of colonization to 1969, sodomy laws made sex between men illegal in Canada. In addition, a law enacted in 1892 made “gross indecency” between men illegal. This included anything that indicated same-sex attraction, including simple touching, dancing and kissing. The law was extended to women in 1953. In 1969, however, sodomy and gross indecency laws were changed, making such acts legal under some circumstances. The parties involved had to be 21 years of age or older and conduct their affairs in private. Sodomy and gross indecency remained illegal outside of the home or if three or more individuals were involved or present. Thus, Canada’s Criminal Code continued to equate homosexuality with criminal behaviour under many circumstances.</a></label><br><a href="https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/122/942/402/381/653/original/fc4d6bfa5c82480b.png" rel="external">https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/122/942/402/381/653/original/fc4d6bfa5c82480b.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
