During the 1960s with the ongoing radicalization of society, it became "cool" to promote the rights of real or perceived minorities, including the LGBT lobby. The LGBT lobby won several victories, such as the decision in 1989 that ''"Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability."'' includes homosexuals. | + | Canada has had a historically more progressive culture than any of its neighbors, an inheritance from the English Revolution.
