• Global News is among the many sources noting that the Canadian federal government is settling a lawsuit lodged over homophobic purges of LGBTQ people from government with a formal apology (already delivered) and $C 100 million in compensation.


• At Chatelaine, Rachel Giese writes--from the perspective of the wider LGBTQ community, and from her own perspective--about how the apology represents progress, but how it also comes after a long torturous history of struggle that must not be forgotten.


• Michael Lyons writes at Daily Xtra about his experience as a writer examining queer history, noting how so much of it has to be recovered and reconstructed to be shared with new generations.


• Naveen Kumar celebrates the new film "Call Me by Your Name", for its celebration of young same-sex love as something positive and normal, without any necessary tragedy, over at VICE.
