in5points
Canadian justice minister Pierre Trudeau introduced Bill C-150 in 1967, decriminalizing homosexuality in 1969.
Trudeau stated: 'The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.'
Everett George Klippert was the last person in Canada imprisoned for being gay, receiving a life sentence upheld by the Supreme Court in 1967.
Bill C-150 (Omnibus Bill) decriminalized consensual homosexual acts between adults.
Trudeau argued that a democratic state should maintain public order but not enforce private morality.
