ABSTRACT
In the quest for tolerance of sexual orientation in Ask No Questions, this chapter examines efforts against sexual orientation discrimination in North America. It reviews discrimination legislation in Canada, namely: the Canadian Constitution, the Canadian Bill of Rights, the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Canada Employment Equity Act; then minimally in Mexico, namely: the Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Ley Federal de Trabajo and the Ley del Seguro Social; and finally in the United States, namely: the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the American Constitution, the Equal Pay Act and the Civil Rights Act. Although neighbors, Canada and the United States have had separate histories and thus have undergone very different paths, with some rights having more of an impact in one country than the other.
