Pride flag flap shows why it is time to end public funding for Ontario Catholic schools
It is June, that time of the year when rainbow washing usually reaches a fevered pitch as marketers jump on the Pride bandwagon to hustle everything from beer and burgers to bicycles and banking. I say “usually” because, in our new era of culture-war politics, associating with LGBTQ+ causes is no longer a risk-free way to draw attention to your brand.
The board’s trustees voted 6-to-4 this week to reject a motion calling on them to hoist a version of the iconic rainbow flag – specifically the Progress Pride Flag – at its Aurora, Ont. headquarters during Pride month in June. The motion was based A majority of YCDSB trustees were having none of it. Board chair Frank Alexander said trustees had been advised by two archbishops that rainbow flags do not “align with our Catholic values.” He insisted YCDSB schools are a safe place for LGBTQ+ students. But they and their supporters can be forgiven for feeling otherwise. The board in effect stigmatized them all over again.
