Justin Trudeau makes historic visit to Canadian gay bar
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau geared up for his country’s Pride Weekend by stopping by a gay bar Monday night, surprising customers there — and making history, according to local reports. Trudeau may be the first prime minister to visit a gay bar, but this is not his first display of support for the LGBTQ community.
In 2016, he became the first Canadian prime minister to march in a pride parade. Trudeau was seen waving rainbow flags, dancing and taking photos with parade attendees in the streets of Toronto, BBC News reports.

Trudeau wants to repeal law on anal sex, wipe out past convictions
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government will introduce a law to expunge the criminal records of persons convicted of homosexual-related offences when buggery or sodomy were banned under Canada’s Criminal Code.
“Our government believes in equality and equal treatment for all Canadians,” Trudeau announced June 14.
“That is why we are moving forward on legislation that makes it possible to erase the convictions of Canadians who were unjustly convicted of a crime – simply for who they were, or who they loved.”
The legislation will expunge convictions on charges of gross indecency under “historical, unjust laws for sexual activity with a same sex partner,” according to the press statement.
