Canada’s support for openness of sexual orientation or gender identity dropped 12% since 2021: poll

New data is shedding light on changing attitudes towards the LGBTQ2 community in Canada and around the world.

Ipsos polled more than 18,000 people from 26 countries with Canada coming in close to the global average – fewer than 50 per cent indicated support of those being open about their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Compared to 2021, it represents a drop of 12 per cent.
