A fundamental human right is the right to live free from all forms of discrimination, including sexual orientation and gender identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada is one of the most friendly 2SLGBTQI+ nations in the world. Section 5 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/csj-sjc\/rfc-dlc\/ccrf-ccdl\/check\/art15.html\">Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/a> outlines how each individual has equal protection under the law. The Charter states that people are free from discrimination based on factors such as race, religion, ethnic origin, and sexual orientation. Among other things, this means that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Same-sex relationships are not a crime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Same-sex marriages are legal and come with rights such as pensions and benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hate crimes and hate speech are illegal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Employers cannot discriminate against you based on sexual orientation or gender identity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Doctors or health care professionals cannot refuse treatment based on sexual orientation or gender identity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentalsfornewcomers.com\/renting-in-canada-what-newcomers-need-to-know\">Landlords cannot discriminate<\/a>, refuse to rent, or harass you based on sexual orientation or gender identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s promise of equality makes it a nation of choice for individuals fleeing countries that criminalize sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humandignitytrust.org\/\">Human Dignity Trust<\/a>, \u201c66 countries have jurisdictions that still criminalize LGBT people\u201d because of who they are and who they love. With sentences that range from fines to prison, or even to the death penalty, criminal punishments have profound negative effects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Services and Support for LGBTQ+ Newcomers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing the need for greater support, more settlement agencies now offer services to the LGBTQ community.
