Mapping the Landscape
2021
In a landmark 41-page report, RFF introduces the wide landscape of faith-based 2SLGBTQ+ discrimination. This report addresses the most critical areas of where faith-based discrimination operates, surveying research from the last fifteen years, and documents the long-lasting impacts of this exclusion.
Key findings include:
- Beliefs within religions are not monolithic
- Sexuality is a product of society and not a biological constant
- Gender or sexual diversity is not a modern phenomenon
- Religious institutions in Canada have enforced colonization through homophobic and transphobic violence
The report examines the ways in which faith-based discrimination affects 2SLGBTQ+ people in a variety of key societal sectors, including public education, family units, worship spaces and healthcare.
