Abstract:

The article discusses a framework of social justice advocacy and a list of educational resources that can be used by teachers and public librarians in Canada to improve the everyday lives of LGBTQ youth. The decriminalization of homosexual sex acts, the adoption of the Canadian Charter Rights and Freedoms, the inclusion of sexual orientation into Alberta's human rights statute and Canada's climate of social responsibility and inclusiveness have improved the lives of LGBTQ youth.
