Abstract
Canadian gays and lesbians have made tremendous strides in realizing their dream of full equality in Canadian society. The adoption of the Charter of Rights in 1982, recent Supreme Court interpretations of the Charter, and public opinion have all contributed to that progress. This paper looks at the gains Canadian gays and lesbians have made in the policy areas of civil rights, spousal rights and gays in the military. These developments are considered in the context of Canadian constitutional change, as well as Canadian history, society and politics; and it compares the policy struggles of Canadian gays and lesbians with those of gays and lesbians in the United States.
