SummaryAuthority has always discriminated and has been prejudiced towards several different categories of people. Whether it’s ethnic group, gender, size, or sexual orientation there has been a history of unfair treatment. The world has come a long way into adapting and accepting the multicultural boom happening everywhere. Canada is trying very hard to please everyone in being fair to everyone, but it has not always been that way. Since the beginning of written human behavior, there has been homosexuality. The strongest sign of acceptance began in ancient Greece and Rome, before the 6th century. It is also a problematic term, as there is no word or phrase in Latin or Ancient Greek that has the exact same meaning as the modern concept of homosexuality.
