So why are countries like Canada that pride themselves on supporting human rights not rushing to the defence of persecuted LGBT individuals?

It's not because the persecution occurs within the sovereign territory of other states. Just imagine the diplomatic outcry if a foreign government criminalized a group on the basis of skin colour.

It's not because these objectionable laws exist only on paper.

Rly? I thought gay marriage was legal there. And that testosterone/estrogen was easier to get there. Isn't that a step ahead of us?
