Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian friends, and those of you with a soft spot for sexy Canucks.

Some gay Canadian factoids: 

- In 1971, Canada's first gay rights march took place in Canada's capital of Ottawa.

- In 1977, Quebec became the first jurisdiction (larger than a city or county) in the world to ban discrimination based on "sexual orientation" in both the public and private sectors

- Throughout the 1980s, some politicians and activists pushed to add "sexual orientation" into Canada's Human Rights Act. However, the amendment did not take place until 1996.

- In 2000, Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium took on the Canadian government before the Canadian Supreme Court. The court ruled that gay publications, even those that were sexually explicit, were protected by the freedom of speech and expression clauses in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

- On July 20, 2005, same-sex marriage was legally recognized in Canada.

- Did you know that Pierre Fitch is Canadian? The porn star was born in Cornwall, Ontario in 1981.

- Other super-hot Canadian men include Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling and Nathan Fillion.

- In 2013, a survey revealed that nearly 10% of Canadians have had sex in a canoe, and 22% have experienced a threesome.

- Canada's official animal is the beaver, which has nothing to do with female anatomy.

- Most Canadians do not live in igloos.
