In Canada
In June 2017, Bill C-16 was passed in Canada, adding gender identity and gender expression to the categories for “hate speech.” The broad nature of the legislation has led to concerns that it will now be a criminal offence to refuse to call someone by their chosen gender pronoun, an assumption which was further strengthened by the Halton Police tweeting a reminder to people to ask a person their preferred gender pronoun:
Shortly before that, in December 2016, the All Families Are Equal Act 2016 became law in Ontario, Canada. Under the legislation, registries of birth no longer refer to “mother” or “father,” but the generic term “parent” and up to four “parents” are eligible to be listed on a child’s birth certificate. This changes the purpose of a birth certificate from being the primary identity document for a child to a document which reflects the social relationship of the adults responsible for their care.
In the UK
In July 2017, the UK Government Equalities Office called for the streamlining and demedicalisation of the process to change gender, resulting in the ability to legally change gender by filing a form “building on the progress” of marriage redefinition.
The plebiscite is a referendum on “Safe Schools”, freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
This year Australians will get to vote on the future of the Marriage Act. Changing the Marriage Act would have far-reaching consequences for all Australians. Same-sex marriage is a package deal that will lead to more gender-bending, politically correct programs like “Safe Schools”.
