For the first time in the history of Historica Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Heritage Minutes, the newest segment focuses on LGBTQ history in Canada, specifically Jim Egan, Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s first gay rights activist. Acting as a historical consultant for the Minute was Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 history professor Steven Maynard.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Historica Canada is trying to broaden the scope of its Heritage Minutes and make them more inclusive,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Maynard, who worked on the project for over a year. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�They have a new Minute that focuses on Indigenous people and residential schools, while another examines Viola Desmond and the experience of African Canadians. This is the first time they have explored the LGBTQ community in Canada.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Mr. Egan was chosen as the subject of the Minute because of his work as an activist in 1949 when he regularly wrote to publications criticizing inaccurate portrayals of lesbian and gay people. He also wrote letters to politicians advocating for fairer treatment of lesbians and gays under the law. This activism took place years before homosexuality was decriminalized in 1969, and it is captured in the opening sequence of the Minute.

Prior to that time, gay men were often branded as criminal sexual psychopaths and dangerous sexual offenders. These labels provided for indeterminate prison sentences.

The Minute focuses on what Mr. Egan was best known for 카지노 게임 컬렉션� fighting for the legal rights of same-sex couples in Canada. In 1986, he began collecting Canada Pension Plan benefits and applied for spousal benefits for his partner Jack Nesbit the following year. The application was denied. The couple took the challenge all the way to the Supreme Court and despite losing that challenge, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously to include sexual orientation as a prohibited grounds of discrimination in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Heritage Minutes are a familiar part of Canadian culture and I think this one will be well received,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Maynard. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�With the Prime Minister카지노 게임 컬렉션�s recent apology for historical discrimination against LGBTQ Canadians and with upcoming Pride celebrations across the country, this Minute comes at just the right time.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In addition to suggesting sources and storylines, Dr. Maynard reviewed the scripts provided by Historica Canada to ensure the accuracy of the Minute.

Experiential learning is one of the key components of Dr. Maynard카지노 게임 컬렉션�s classes at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. He카지노 게임 컬렉션�s looking forward to using the Egan Minute in his courses but notes, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s important to take something like this and move it outside the classroom so it has the greatest impact. All Canadians should understand this moment in our history and that is why it was so important to me to work on it with Historica Canada.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
