This book considers the impact that the increasing number of LGBQ
politicians in Canada has had on the political representation of
LGBTQ people and communities. Based on analysis of parliamentary
speeches and interviews with 28 out LGBQ parliamentarians in Canada
between 2017 and 2020, Tremblay shows how out LGBQ MLAs and MPs
take advantage of their intermediary position between the LGBTQ
movement and the state to represent LGBTQ people and communities.
For example, the politicians in this study introduce pro-LGBTQ
bills, lobby cabinet ministers, act as a bridge between LGBTQ
groups and the civil service, and give talks in schools about their
identities. Most importantly, they act as role models for LGBTQ
people (particularly children and teens) and contribute to lifting
the social stigma around sexuality and gender identity. This latest
volume in our Sustainable Development Goals series underlines that
SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) can only be
accomplished with political representation for the LGBTQ community
and minority groups in general.
