Canada is to erect a national memorial to commemorate its LGBT+ purge when a witch hunt forced thousands of Canadians out of public service.
The purge was a systematic attempt to drive LGBT+ people out of the armed forces, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and other government jobs.
It ran at the height of the Cold War from the 1950s to the 1990s. And it continued even after Canada decriminalized gay sex in 1967.
