The Registry is a means of collecting information on all homophobic acts. It gathers data about homophobic acts without requiring victims or witnesses to identify themselves. Thus, the Registry is anonymous and confidential, and it will help measure the extent of problem, develop effective prevention tools and awareness programs, as well as inform victims of their rights and the resources available to them.
The Registry is a Interligne initiative, in collaboration with Fondation Émergence. The ministère de la Justice of Québec’s Bureau de lutte contre l’homophobie supports the project financially.
Any negative attitude leading to the direct or indirect rejection of or discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals and transgenders, or any person whose appearance or behaviour does not conform to that of masculine and feminine stereotypes.
An act of homophobia is a negative manifestation by people defined as homophobic, no matter the form or level of severity: a gesture, a word, a note, a sign, a comment, a drawing, physical or verbal violence, etc.
Physical violence, harassment, profane or defamatory libels and hate propaganda based on sexual orientation are criminal offences.
These acts of homophobia must be reported in the Registry, but it is also important to report them to the police or the InfoCrime services:
