The Université du Quebec a Montreal (UQAM) will soon be home to North America's first university-based research chair dedicated to the study of homophobia.
The University's sexology department will study how homophobia affects queer health in an attempt to help create more effective policy and social justice programs.
The position is part of a partnership with the Quebec Ministry of Justice. The Government of Quebec will give $475 000 to the program.
