Homosexuality was illegal in Canada until 1967. Two years previous to this, Everett Klippert was arrested and imprisoned for having sex with other men, so the law was enforced.

Being gay was decriminalized in Canada in 1969 when the Criminal Law Amendment Act, also known as Bill C-150, was passed. Before that, homosexual acts between consenting adults were considered criminal offenses under section 147 of the Criminal Code. However, it's important to note that discrimination and persecution against the LGBTQ+ community persisted even after the decriminalization of homosexuality.
