Howard, J. Paul R. – Education Canada, 2003
The Ontario and British Columbia courts of appeal have held that the restriction of marriage to heterosexuals is unconstitutional. Opposing views in same-sex marriage litigation arise from different definitions of "marriage." Proposed federal legislation would legalize same-sex marriage but not resolve the larger, underlying issue of how…

Temple, Julia R. – Canadian Journal of Education, 2005
Heterosexism exists throughout Canadian society, but to what degree is it present in classrooms? In this article, I explore this question through content analysis of twenty francophone Quebec secondary-school textbooks, examining how sexuality and relationships are discussed in five different subjects. These texts are persistently and…

Cain, Roy – Social Work, 1991
Data from 38 gay men showed that decisions concerning disclosure and secrecy were related to variety of situational and relational factors that were largely distinct from gay identity development.

Alderson, Kevin G. – Canadian Journal of Counselling, 2004
Past research indicates sexual minority training provided to graduate students of counselling psychology is minimal and inadequate (Bahr, Brish, & Croteau, 2000; Morrison & L'Heureux, 2001; Murphy, 1991). Graduates feel unprepared to work competently with sexual-minority individuals, yet Canadian and American Associations require their…

Saewyc, Elizabeth M.; Skay, Carol L.; Pettingell, Sandra L.; Reis, Elizabeth A.; Bearinger, Linda; Resnick, Michael; Murphy, Aileen; Combs, Leigh – Child Welfare, 2006
Some studies suggest lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) teens are at higher risk than peers for violence at home, in school, and in the community. That can bring them into the child welfare system or services for runaway and homeless teens. This study compared self-reported experiences of sexual and physical abuse based on sexual orientation and…

Howard, J. Paul R. – Education Canada, 2001
Trinity Western University (TWU) (British Columbia) was denied accreditation as a teacher training institution because the accrediting college felt that TWU--a Christian institution excluding persons based on sexual orientation--would produce teachers that discriminated against homosexual students. In subsequent court litigation, the Supreme Court…

Discusses British Columbia College of Teachers' (BCCT) denial of Trinity Western University's (TWU) teacher education programs and teacher certification due to TWU's prohibition of homosexuality. Reports that TWU filed suit, and the Supreme Court of Canada determined that BCCT's action interfered with TWU's right to religious freedom. (Contains 32…

Robertson, Heather-jane – Phi Delta Kappan, 2005
Inclusive education seeks to provide a welcoming environment for all students, not by ignoring gender, race, disability, or sexual identities, but by recognizing and validating difference. It is precisely this validation that alarms those who are attempting to rein in schools that have initiated anti-heterosexist programs. But no one is satisfied…

Walton, Gerald – Journal of Gay & Lesbian Issues in Education, 2006
The province of British Columbia has a dubious history where support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) issues in education is concerned. Most notable is the Surrey School Board's decision in 1997 to ban three picture books for children that depict families with two moms or two dads. The North Vancouver School Board has also…
