VANCOUVER—People hoping to become citizens will now learn that Canada upholds gay and lesbian rights, but they won’t get much more information than that.

A new citizenship study guide includes that fact, although an earlier draft included history about gay rights milestones and the same-sex marriage law.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney showed off the guide to new citizens yesterday in Vancouver, but said he didn’t personally order the information removed.

Other new additions to the booklet add forced marriage to a list of gender-based crimes that aren’t tolerated in Canada, and a paragraph that says “violent, extreme or hateful prejudices” aren’t tolerated here.

The study guide was last updated 15 years ago.

Egale Canada, a national gay and lesbian advocacy group that pushed for the guide changes, is still calling for transgender rights to be included in a rewrite.
