This pop‐up exhibit by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights speaks to decades of human rights violations against 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians who wanted to serve their country and the brave activists who fought back. It is designed to educate and inspire Canadians to help create a future in which the rights of all 2SLGBTQI+ people are respected.
We invite you to explore some of the survivors’ compelling — yet harrowing — stories from July 14 to August 31, 2025.

Cette expo‐kiosque, organisée par le Musée canadien pour les droits de la personne (MCDP), porte sur les décennies de violations des droits commises contre les personnes 2ELGBTQI+ du Canada qui voulaient servir leur pays et les braves militant·e·s qui ont riposté. Elle est conçue pour éduquer et inspirer le public canadien afin qu’il contribue à créer un avenir dans lequel les droits de toutes les personnes 2ELGBTQI+ seront respectés.
Nous vous invitons à lire les récits passionnants – mais déchirants – de certaines personnes ayant survécu à la purge, du 14 juillet au 31 août 2025.
