Federally funded museum links “parental rights” movement to harm, prejudice
Social media campaign frames parental advocacy as rooted in “homophobia,” “transphobia,” and “othering.”
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is promoting a social media campaign asserting that the “parental rights” movement is “often rooted in transphobia and homophobia and can have very harmful consequences.”
The post marked International Transgender Day of Visibility, the museum said it was “confronting four myths surrounding the parental rights movement, so that we can all help protect 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.”

The campaign defines the movement as “groups of people… targeting 2SLGBTQI+ students in an effort to remove their rights,” adding that in some cases, “they have been successful under the guise of ‘parental rights.’”
