I know this is late news, but I only learned of it recently, and it is GREAT NEWS!

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has approved a dollar coin to
celebrate the LGBT experience and commemorate the 50th anniversary of
the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada.

The coin is already generating backlash, with opponents of the Trudeau
government questioning whether the prime minister hasn’t done enough
already to promote identity politics in Canada.

According to CBC News, Trudeau gave his blessing to the coin on Dec.
14. The dollar coin, dubbed a “loonie” in Canada because a loon
appears on one side of the coin, will be issued by the Royal Canadian
Mint and be circulated throughout Canada as regular tender. (RELATED:

The Mint isn’t releasing any images of the new coin, nor revealing the
names of the artist who rendered it, claiming it wants to “maximize
the impact” when people first see it sometime next year, according to
CBC.

Homosexuality was legalized in 1969 while Justin Trudeau’s father,
Pierre Trudeau, was prime minister. The elder Trudeau had earlier
declared as justice minister that “there’s no place for the state in
the bedrooms of the nation.”

Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau tweeted his joy on Friday:

Stay tuned Canada! Incredibly proud to have approved this new loonie
to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of
homosexuality in Canada – an important milestone, and strong reminder
of the work still to do.

But of course, all the anti-LGBTQ conservative hate groups, most of which are religious driven, were already declaring war on Trudeau and the Gay community:

But the director of political operations for Canada’s largest pro-life
group said the move is nothing more than propaganda.

“This is state-operated propaganda, pure and simple, using our money
system,” Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition told The Daily Caller
on Saturday. “It’s Orwellian. Something you’d expect from a
dictatorship like Communist China, the former Soviet Union, or the
almighty German state in the 1930s and 1940s who used the apparatus of
government to ensure that no citizen escapes indoctrination with the
State’s ideology.” (RELATED: House Conservatives Want Trudeau’ s LGBT

Fonseca said the idea of using Canadian money to socialize Canadians
towards an acceptance of the LGBT lifestyle is “insulting to the
millions of Canadians who are Bible-believing Christians, Jews,
Muslims, Sikhs and of other faiths … whose scriptures and traditions
view homosexual behavior as a violation of God’s plan for human
sexuality.”

He noted that “Trudeau has no business appropriating something that’s
supposed to be innocuous and non-offensive, like our currency, in
order to indoctrinate the citizenry to accept his personal values.”

Trudeau has been busy on behalf of the LGBTQ community. He has offered
a formal apology and offered financial compensation for anyone who
lost their positions in the military or civil service due to their
sexual orientation. Part of the apology included legislation to
expunge the legal records of anyone convicted of a past homosexual
offense — but to date only seven people in Canada have applied.

The prime minister rarely misses a Gay Pride parade, and once showed
up to Toronto’s event when the local police were banished from the
festivities.

Personally, I can't wait to get one, or two! I've been checking the Canadian Mint's website to see when the release date is, and to order an uncirculated one.

On another note, it's too bad about those conservative hate groups like the Conservative Party of Canada, CitizenGo and it's dangerous leader, Mr. David Cooke, and of course the biggest hate party of all, the Christin Heritage Party, or as I call them, the Christian Hate Party, are so consumed and blinded by their hatred. What's worse I that these same people will go to their place of worship on the weekend and listen to the teachings of a long-haired Hippie freak who was tolerant and preached inclusiveness. Al I hope is for these two-faced hypocrites end up "being warm for eternity"!

Too, don't forget, June 28th, 2019 is also the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn Riots!
