LGBTQ Support in Lethbridge

Sociology Project

We are conducting a Sociology research project for our Social Problems class. We will be focusing on LGBTQ community and supports such as the University of Lethbridge Pride Club, Women's Center and the College Pride Club. We are hoping to confront the social issues that impact this population and gain insight into the organizations aimed to aid with the conflicts they face.

Issues in Uganda

A bill was passed December 20, 2013 and signed February 24th, 2014 by the President of Uganda criminalizing homosexual acts, relationships, marriages, aiding and abating homosexuality, and has made not reporting any of the above offenses illegal.

Currently, financial aid from Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, the World Bank, and Denmark to Uganda has been cut or stopped. Numerous other countries around the world have threatened to cut financial aid, including Canada and the United States of America.
