A tale of a Canadian GSA
by Matt | January 15th, 2007 |I found this hilarious cartoon over at Slap Upside the Head.
The creator, Mark created in response to the news about the gay-straight alliance ban at Richmond Hill High School in Ontario, Canada:
Well, chalk up another victory for the folks who just aren’t comfortable with the gays! Ontario’s Richmond Hill High School has forbidden a student-run gay support group, the Gay Straight Alliance, from meeting or distributing posters on school property. The principal, Ms. Ivy Chan, cited “entrenched views” as the reason for the ban, saying “I could go ahead and be politically correct and have one, but a gay straight alliance—some people would be for it, but there would be a lot of parents who would oppose it.”
See this news article for more.
Hilarious. Just absolutely hilarious.
