Canada’s citizenship and immigration minister removed references to gay rights in an updated guide for immigrants seeking Canadian citizenship, The Canadian Press reported.

Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, who fought marriage equality in Parliament five years ago, ordered sections of the immigration guide removed.

His order erased sections of the guide that discussed when homosexuality was decriminalized, that discrimination based on sexual orientation is illegal and that same-sex marriage has been legal since 2005.

The guide was last updated in 1995.

Does Canada ever have instances where Conservatives MPs get caught at gay bars?
