Michelle Douglas Biography

Michelle Douglas is one of the most popular and richest Activist who was born on December 30, 1963 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

After graduating from Carleton University in 1985 with a major in law, Douglas joined the Canadian Forces in 1986. She was soon promoted to the Special Investigations Unit – the first woman to be promoted to the Unit as an officer. Paradoxically, it was also the Unit responsible for running the LGBT Purge for the armed forces. In 1988, she came under investigation and was transferred to another position before losing her security clearance. Despite having an exemplary service record and repeatedly being at the top of her class, in 1989, she was released from the Forces because she was a lesbian. She was dismissed under administrative release item 5d: “Not Advantageously Employable Due to Homosexuality”. During her trial, Douglas reported that while under investigation, she was taken to a hotel room where two men questioned her about her sexual activities. She was also prevented from seeking legal advice.

Douglas subsequently launched a $550,000 lawsuit against the Department of National Defence in January 1990 where she was represented by Clayton Ruby. In October 1992, just before Douglas’ legal challenge went to trial, the Canadian military abandoned its policy banning gays and lesbians and settled the case.
