“There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.”
Pierre Trudeau (1919–2000) 15th Prime Minister of Canada
L'État n'a pas d'affaires dans les chambres à coucher de la nation.
Comment in the Canadian House of Commons on the decriminalization of homosexuality (22 December 1967)[citation needed]
Although usually attributed solely to Trudeau, the quote is a paraphrase by him from an editorial that appeared in the Globe and Mail on December 12, 1967 (page 61) which read in part: "Obviously, the state's responsibility should be to legislate rules for a well-ordered society. It has no right or duty to creep into the bedrooms of the nation."
