Canada has unveiled Thunderhead, a striking new national monument honoring the victims of the LGBT Purge — a dark chapter where thousands were fired or investigated for their sexual orientation or gender identity. Funded by a $145 million class-action settlement, the $15 million monument takes the form of a storm cloud, its mirrored tiles and lights symbolizing lightning and fractured reflections. Surrounded by a contemplative park, it features a narrative path and a healing circle of 13 stones chosen by Indigenous elders, celebrating survivor resilience. The Governor General called the storm imagery a powerful reminder of the harm endured, marking a vital step toward national reckoning and remembrance.
