Justin Trudeau has been the prime minister of Canada since 2015 and the leader of the country’s Liberal Party since 2013.
The 51-year-old has been staunch supporter of LGBTQ+ rights having introduced a bill that made conversion therapy illegal, and a landmark 2017 measure that protects trans and non-binary citizens from discrimination, among others.
He also always acknowledges Pride Month with official statements and by routinely attending parades throughout the nation. Last weekend, Trudeau joined the crowds gathered at a Pride celebration on Prince Edward Island.

“It is with shame and sorrow and deep regret for the things we have done that I stand here today,” he says.
In addition to being a true queer ally, Trudeau is also devastatingly handsome, if you hadn’t noticed.
A fact that has garnered him much praise and adoration through the years, regardless of where you stand on his politics.
But on Wednesday, it was revealed Trudeau’s debonair looks weren’t enough for at least one of his biggest fans: his gorgeous wife, Sophie.
In a joint statement, the couple announced their separation after 18 years of marriage.
“Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate,” Trudeau wrote in an Instagram post.
“As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build. For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy.”
Trudeau and his wife were married in 2005 and share three children: sons Xavier, 15, and Hadrien, nine, and daughter Ella-Grace, 14.
While this is sad news for the family, some are taking the opportunity to relish the fact that Trudeau is single for the first time in almost two decades.
And on the app formerly known as Twitter, the gays are going feral.

While others shared their wild ideas of who else might be thirsting for Trudeau’s Canadian goods.
These choices would definitely make for an outrageous political scandal:

Jokes aside, it appears Trudeau and Sophie are over for good as his office disclosed the couple has already signed a “legal separation agreement,” according to NBC News.
“They have worked to ensure that all legal and ethical steps with regards to their decision to separate have been taken, and will continue to do so moving forward,” read the statement.
However, they still plan go on a family getaway together next week. Awkward!
“Both parents will be a constant presence in their children’s lives and Canadians can expect to often see the family together,” the statement continued. “The family will be together on vacation, beginning next week.”
Breaking up sucks, so here’s hoping they get through it with grace and peace.
But on the lighter side, check out more from the thirsty gays reacting to Trudeau’s new single status:

WOW, most of the people tweeting (or X’ing) must be American because if you understood how bad things are in Canada you would see the ugly side of this man.
Our inflation is through the roof, seniors are struggling to put food on the table our power and gas bills are exorbitant due to Carbon Taxes, which in turn increases the cost of food, transportation of food etc it is the worst domino effect you could imagine.
For example our average electric gas bill combined is $500.00 a month to which 85% of this bill is delivery charges, local levy access fee’s and carbon tax then to add insult to this we are charged GST on the total including the tax so we are taxed on the tax, in some provinces where there is PST (Provincial Sales Tax) this is also taxed on the taxes.
He is forcing non Green Industries to shut down which in turn is creating unemployment and more heartache for families. In big cities like Vancouver & Toronto small apartments are in their thousands a month, there is no affordable housing for the poorer people of this nation.
If he had his way we would all be driving electric cars, living with solar but what he forgets for a large population on the west coast we are in winter mode for 60% of the year, which makes it unrealistic for us to convert.
So yes he may be handsome but what really lies beneath is scary people.

But the PM doesn’t legislate. Similar to the US, the HoC and Senate write and pass laws. How is what you’re saying his fault directly?
abfab
We get it. He’s not your type.

Sounds like somebody has a hidden agenda. You protest so much.

@Drumhellian, I hear you on the politics but keep in mind, most of the people Tweeting have ZERO clue about Canada’s politics or political system and just see a hot, now single man. I’d add that given how bad things have been in the US until recently–we had a complete economic collapse in 2020-21, thanks to Don the Con and his terrible response to Covid-19, and it has taken 2 years to climb out of it–the complaints you lodge don’t sound so bad compared to what many people across the US have experienced. But I do appreciate what you’re trying to get people to see.

Sophie has finally recognized the empty suit she married. Junior is so preoccupied with the alphabet crowd, maybe he has finally found is real home. Hopefully that means he leaves politics forever.

The “Alphabet Crowd”? Honey, whatever you wear on your back has long since been running on empty. And as Scarlett said to Rhett “You aren’t fit to wipe his boots.”
