Well that's interesting.

quote:

For the first time in schools' history, Toronto Catholic schools will raise the Pride flag in June, which is recognized as "pride month" in Toronto.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board announced on Twitter Friday that the Board of Trustees voted in favor of the rainbow colored flag being raised every June, and proclaimed that every June from this year forth be recognized as "pride month" within the school system.

"We recognize that this is an important step required to demonstrate the TCDSB's ongoing commitment to fostering inclusive environments that are safe and welcoming places for 2SLGBTQ+ students and staff," wrote TCDSB Chair Joe Martino and Director Brendan Browne in a statement Friday morning.

This vote comes after a 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee was created to recommend the raising of the pride flag and the proclamation of pride month in Toronto Catholic schools, writing that "our Catholic faith urges us to reach out to those who are marginalized, excluded, discriminated against, or forgotten, and to celebrate their individuality as God's children."

Homosexual behavior is a sin.

Or does that even matter anymore?

The official stance of Roman Catholicism, the largest religious body in the world, is that homosexuality is a sin

A Roman Catholic school district in a major city decides to sanction a month long celebration of homosexuality.

I notice you're new to td.com. If you don't think that's news, then the Political Board probably isn't for you.

Not surprising. Priests having been raping boys forever.

Board of directors have turned their cheeks.

Strange times.
