Based on analysis of parliamentary speeches and interviews with 28 out LGBQ parliamentarians in Canada between 2017 and 2020, Tremblay shows how out LGBQ MLAs and MPs take advantage of their intermediary position between the LGBTQ movement and the state to represent LGBTQ people and communities. For example, the politicians in this study introduce pro-LGBTQ bills, lobby cabinet ministers, act as a bridge between LGBTQ groups and the civil service, and give talks in schools about their identities. Most importantly, they act as role models for LGBTQ people (particularly children and teens) and contribute to lifting the social stigma around sexuality and gender identity. This latest volume in our Sustainable Development Goals series underlines that SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) can only be accomplished with political representation for the LGBTQ community and minority groups in general. Manon Tremblay is Professor at the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, Canada. 410 0$aSustainable Development Goals Series,$x2523-3092 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aSex 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aElections 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aSexuality Studies 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aElectoral Politics 606 $aPolitics and Gender 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aSexuality Studies. 615 24$aQueer Studies. 615 24$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aPolitics and Gender. 676 $a305.906640971 676 $a328.0860971 700 $aTremblay$b Manon$0934083 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bYDX 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bGW5XE 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bCaOWtL 912 $a9910767567103321 996 $aLGBQ Legislators in Canadian Politics$93656210 997 $aUNINA
