LGBTQ2+ communities

Last updated May 11, 2022
RelatedDiversity

As part of its commitment to LGBTQ2+ communities, Montréal is taking action to become a more inclusive city and combat prejudice and discrimination.

The city has announced its first set of commitments to address the needs of LGBTQ2+ communities.

Tangible and inclusive actions

Identifying the difficulties LGBTQ2+ communities face

In 2019, LGBTQ2+ communities and partner organizations were consulted to better understand the challenges and barriers LGBTQ2+ communities face in accessing city services.

Educating and training city employees

Montréal has developed awareness tools to help its employees learn more about the realities of LGBTQ2+ communities and to prevent all forms of discrimination. Specifically, the city has pledged to:

  • Train 200 city employees, including police officers, on sexual and gender diversity issues each year
  • Produce a lexicon to help employees understand the different realities of LGBTQ2+ people, along with a guide to support employees in transition.

Other inclusion measures will be put in place gradually.

 

Fostering community initiatives 

Montréal assists the most vulnerable LGBTQ2+ people at risk of social exclusion by:

  • Supporting Interligne, a specialized front-line centre
  • Funding the Montréal Pride festival
  • Ensuring that LGBTQ2+ organizations can access community space

Collaboration to fight against prejudice and discrimination

To combat homophobia and transphobia, the city:

  • Consults community partners whose expertise can help it develop best practices
  • Integrates international networks of cities that value the inclusion of LGBTQ2+ people and recognize the richness of diversity.

Good to know

The acronym LGBTQ2+ refers to sexual and gender diversities including lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and two-spirited people.  The “+” sign recognizes diverse identities not reflected in the acronym. Variations such as LGBTQ+ and LGBTQIA2S are sometimes used.
