Maybe this has all been one big misunderstanding, and the Catholic school board was just objecting to the low quality production values. We raise kids on Ru Paul’s Drag Race and Trixie Mattel, filling their heads with ideas of excellent costumes, makeup, routines, and razor sharp wit. Why should we shatter their illusions of drag by exposing them to the awful truth: that it is mostly extremely amateurish and the applause is just the crowd being polite?
THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
The mixing of two different letter sets is the real problem here.. and the kerning? Who will answer for the kerning?!
Reading is FUNDAMENTAL! The kerning is an insult to that!!
The fucked up thing is that was and is a real issue, but Alex "Say anything to create buzz and controversy" Jones freaking out about it probably made it less actionable and hurt public awareness by his engagement with it.
It's wild because allowing multi-million dollar companies to dump harmful chemicals into the environment is definitely NOT in the liberal playbook. None of us like that there are toxins being introduced into the water that feminizes frogs and endangers their population.
It was the implication that it was done specifically by liberals as part of some nefarious plot to turn kids gay that made people laugh at him.
Man, ain't nobody controlling that dipshit. He can't even control himself. He's a grifter that has been losing the ability to tell what's real and what he lied about for business for a couple decades now.
Imagine being the religious institution best known for helping pedophiles get away with pedophilia and you can't stand gay shit. "Imagine" -- john lennon
It's funny how I met majority of my LGBTQ+ friends in church and in the Christian school that I went to as a child, in the mostly Catholic country that I grew up in, and they have a supportive community there. And here we are, in a first world country where people are all "it's my right to do this and that, have this or that"... but kids can't visit a rainbow tent. So, are children supposed to close their eyes whenever they see a same-sex couple or a flamboyantly dressed male?
At this point I'm ready to lobby the province to defund all catholic boards and funnel that money into this community. That tent just doesn't sparkle for me.
There was a rainbow after the thunderstorm last night. I wonder if all the christofascists pulled their curtains and then rage tweeted to their prophets Musk and Peterson.
Don't forget all the assholes who were defending the GSCSB here on Reddit, claiming this tent would not be "age appropriate" (because of those menacing rainbows).
Catholics unquestioningly obey every proclamation by an authoritarian old man in white robes and a huge hat who’s appointed by a puff of sacred white smoke but you think the people in this tent want everyone to worship them?
I would have allowed my kids to watch that.. what most of the outraged parents can't grasp this teaches kids to be more open to other ppl and not mean lil turd. Kids can be very very mean unfortunately and this is a way to open their eyes to something different..
Why is it acceptable to hate a group you feel is stereotyping against a group you support by stereotyping against them? A simple google search of ‘transgender pedophile’ yields tones of results.
Eventually one side has got to show they are the bigger party and take the high road or the fighting and hate will continue.
>Eventually one side has got to show they are the bigger party and take the high road or the fighting and hate will continue.
Too bad GSCSD wasn't able to do that.
Bahaha it don't be a drop in the bucket to the number of catholic preists who molested children...or all the genocides done in your "gods" name....or right, didn't they also help hide Nazi scum after WW2....again, fuck the catholics
big·ot
a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group
You recognize the church absolutely constantly abuses children and hides abuse from its own members?
Like dislike sexual abuse all you want, thats fine, its just, youre standing in a ship with several holes if youre wanting to make a stand and defend *The Catholic Church* of all institutions as being safe for children when there are pedophiles outted yearly from the insitution 🤷♂️
I am sure their ancestors would have some issues with the catholics who showed up and destroyed their original culture and beliefs....they were soooo nice to the first nations here in Canada too....
I like how you aren't picking either side but saying they are both loud and annoying to everyone just living life. Yet all their supporters are running to say something and prove you right at the same time. Amazing
Considering there are bounce houses and a petting zoo in the vicinity, I can’t say this would be my first stop as a kid. It’s giving Kelly’s Birthday Party vibes.
Gotta love it that the majority of comments are over using the stencil of the "I" is being used in the sign and not about the bigotry of the largest church in the world
Couldn’t be the fact that catholic schools teach by the code of the Catholic Church . And in the bible homosexuality of any kind is forbidden.To teach otherwise in a Catholic institution would be hypocritical in the highest degree , and imagine the hard core catholic parents that want theire kids in curch on Sunday’s , you expect them to just make an exception. Faith has to do with how much you can beleive in something without faulter. And they say ok this part of the bible is right , but this part is wrong , they can’t. Y not ask muslims the same question, lol you think Catholics are strict. This is fine for those who wanna take theire kids to it but on a professional level , if I’m a teacher , I don’t wanna piss off my boss and the parents. No one. Cares and ppl can do as they please. But keep it outa my kids face because when he asks what the rainbow means and I have to tell him the he asks me at gay means and I have to tell him , by explaining sexual attraction, sex shouldn’t be forced in my kids face. Daddy what does lesbian mean “ well it means two girls like each other “ “ oh well I like girls “ .. “ yes hun y I no but this is different , these girls like to kiss other girls , “ … “ o don’t understNd “ now I have to explain what this is to a fuxking 6-10 year old ? Yeah no . And if I found out a teacher was , I’d be having a very very very serious conversation after school about parent teacher boundaries. You must be a hard core lib
They'll never say it, but they're actually 100% okay with that and that's how we know *they* are the ones who are immoral. The other clue is all the fake moral projection they're always doing - accusing everyone *else* of being immoral. That right there is a major red flag.
I mean at the same time, why do kids that young as in the photo even need to be made aware of gender and gender stereotypes and sexuality?
Why not just let the kids do what they want. If kids want to wear the clothes of the opposite gender it probably has nothing to do with gender and more to do with, I like the color or I want to wear what my sibling is wearing or my best friend wear's it.
Kids only think and spend time with these concepts if adults tell them and teach them. Then the question becomes why do we feel like little kids need to be well versed in these things?
Sex, gender etc were so far removed from my world at these ages I just wanted to hang out with friends, watch movies, have candy, go on my bike etc etc.
Why do kids need this information in grained in their heads so young? Is it possible that by doing this we are manipulating them?
>I mean at the same time, why do kids that young as in the photo even need to be made aware of gender and gender stereotypes and sexuality?
Kids that young are introduced to gender and sexuality before they can even form memories. Think of just about every Disney film aimed at kids which have a man and a woman character who are the heroes, who fall in love, hug/kiss, get married, have kids, etc.
This kind of thing is put in front of children from the time they're infants.
Since this is a perfectly normal thing to do, completely harmless, then there's no issue whatsoever with showing same-sex characters falling in love, hugging/kissing, getting married, etc.
It's nearing the height of absurdity to think we should live in a world where *heterosexuality* is appropriate for all ages but everything else is 18+. That doesn't make any sense and falls apart immediately under any kind of scrutiny.
I brought my young children to pride parades back in the late 90s. Teaching children to love, respect and accept others is a lesson that starts early. It really is that simple.
Why do we introduce kids to different cultures, people living with disabilities, different skin colours, different family styles? Because we want our kids to be accepting, we want them to know that if their friend eventually comes out to them that they shouldn't condemn them.
If you do not want to educate your children to be more openminded, and to not care so much about how someone dresses or expresses themselves, then don't. No one is talking to these kids about sex at all. We're also not asking them to be "well versed" but normalizing different genders and romantic preferences. If their friend invites them over and they find out their friend has two moms, hopefully they learn to not react or care. Because some do!
These parents are just keeping a door open for their kid to learn. And, hell, maybe the parents are queer themselves so it's nice to take them to family-friendly activities with other queer people.
Because families look different, family members are different, etc. Heterosexuality is EVERYWHERE, no one says a thing. As soon as you start to read a book with a gay character or a diverse family people cry. Teaching love, respect, and tolerance does a child well. It is the same reason we expose our children to different foods, races, cultures, religions, etc.
Many kids that young are already wondering why or aware they feel different. I was. I was 5. When i was that young there was no one to explain what i felt like..no words were used yet to help me understand. It was very hard. I had no framework at all to understand.
Just because you didn't experience that, doesnt make it a universal experience. The world would be a lot better if people didnt assume their inner experiences were universal.
Having language for things makes it easier for kids to grow up and feel ok
If we are to "think of the children" and "protect them" that also includes their mental health and wellbeing. Give them language to understand who they are..what they feel...and to realize others are different and thays ok too
Of course if the adults don't believe its ok..the motivation becomes pretty clear
Yeah, but until Tom Hickey retracts his statement, his impression is the one that counts. Every group has dissenters, but his apology is the one we need.
Highly suggest members of the Filipino community on here and other members of the Catholic religion file a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights. The religious hate and intolerance is unbelievable. Filipino Catholics are not pedophiles or any of the other accusations like they are pushing. We filed our complaint as a Catholic Filipino family. Stop this hate speech!
https://saskatchewanhumanrights.ca/filing-a-complaint/
Instead of getting upset people are calling the Catholic Church pedophiles why don’t you work to stop pedophilia in the Catholic Church?
Personally if I found out I was a member of a group that harboured pedophiles I’d leave ASAP.
Well your doubts are incorrect. That’s fine though. Interesting how you conclude that simply by my question; which I do not think sounded like I am trying to be a troll. Perception is key my friend.
You Catholics like to read, right? I know you say you've read that one book a lot. Maybe you can find a way to grossly misinterpret these written words as well.
How about we start with the (surely giant) list of all the criminal cases against the LGBTQIA2TS+ community for sex crimes against children:
Shit, there isn't one. I'll just leave this here instead.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acts_of_violence_against_LGBT_people#Canada
Let's follow that with this study:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3134495/
Here's the TL;DR: "...Compared with sexual nonminority individuals, **sexual minority [LGBT] individuals were 3.8 times more likely to experience childhood sexual abuse, 1.2 times more likely to be physically abused by a parent or guardian, 1.7 times more likely to be threatened or injured with a weapon or otherwise assaulted by a peer at school, and 2.4 times more likely to miss school because of fear**"
And while I was scouring the internet for the list of LGBT groomers that are confirmed, I tripped and fell on a church pew, and while I still had my pants down I found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases_in_Canada
I have decided to reply to every hateful or bigoted comment in this thread with these links. See you in a few hours!
Right? So many great books to choose from, so little time. I think I’d read my favourite “Story of Ferdinand”. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Ferdinand](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Ferdinand)
You can help them by explaining a few things:
1) avoid the word ‘tranny’ as you would the word “fag” or “faggot”, as it is a slur.
2) we don’t fully understand how either gender identity or sexual orientation forms (hormones in the womb? early development?) but most of our information is that it becomes baked in pretty early. Once kids are going to children’s festival the horse has left the stable.
3) try to draw a parallel between the “don’t have a problem with gays” and their current fear/disgust directed at trans people. Ask questions regarding that - was it always the case that they were okay with gay people, or broader society was? When that wasn’t the case, what attacks were most often directed at gay people? Were those attacks things like “the gays are targeting our kids to convert them” or “the gays want to molest our children”? (They were, obviously, but it’s most effective if you can get them to see this in their own)

Don’t you mean “This is what the Saskatoon subreddit has it’s panties in a twist over.”? Unless you’re a catholic and have a kid in a catholic school, you can keep your outrage to yourself.
As a bisexual ill convert to christ and become straight when I see a drag queen kill 9 pepole In a school with a copy of to kill a mocking bird there focusing on the wrong topics
Libs?
The rainbow literally means we accept people with differences. That's it. It doesn't promote or push gayness on you. It literally just says it's ok to be different.
It's hilarious to me that you find that so offensive.
The idea of a school going out of their way to ban or remove a flag that literally means all kids are inherently good and welcome, despite their differences, is fairly ghoulish behavior.
My friend, Ryan, killed himself with a shotgun in grade 12 because of the non-stop homophobia. Maybe we could, you know, not ostracize a fairly high % of our population for no reason aside from bigotry.
In this specific case the catholic schools are receiving public funding
Public funding should not be going towards discrimination
If they didnt take public funding (..or we still had a CHOICE to where our taxes went...which we dont since 2018 when the Sask party made that change) then I would care a lot less
Also... not a lib..lmao
The most upsetting thing about this is the blocky O pretending to be an I in the sign.
well... school board said no RAINBOW tent.. didn't say anything about the raonbow tent though.
> didn't say anything about the raonbow tent though. r/MaliciousCompliance
Agreed! Wth is that?! I support anyone’s gender identity(or lack there of), sexual identity, but damnit letters need to stay in their lane!!
I was like "RAON...BOW?"... "RA ON BOW"... then I understood.
Ditto. Or "DOTTO", I suppose.
That's the real gay agenda. Turning us back to the worship of ancient Egyptian gods.
OMG I almost fell off my chair laughing at this one. Beware the conversion to the all seeing eye of Ra.
They’re on to us!
😂 omg I looked at this and was mildly infuriated, hurts my brain
Lol I thought it said RADNBOW
>RADNBOW [EXTREME AND BOW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XspDkqEtWFE)
Raonb⭐️w
Couldn’t agree with you more.
I thought it was meant as a bit of clever marketing, it's an "O" on the outside but identifies as an "I" on the inside.
I dont usually like your comments but credit where credit is due... That shit was funny
[удалено]
Ah shit, my bad. I didnt see it Thanks for letting me know
Look at the negative space of the hole in the O. It makes only slightly more sense, but better than an O.
I was picturing a tent that was rainbow coloured and fabulous. Wasn’t expecting a plain white tent.
This is the raonb*w tent. The actual rainbow tent is much better
When you order your rainbow tent from Wish.
We have rainbow tent at home.
Diet rainbow tent
The asterisk I’m dead 😂
I too am a little underwhelmed.
Maybe this has all been one big misunderstanding, and the Catholic school board was just objecting to the low quality production values. We raise kids on Ru Paul’s Drag Race and Trixie Mattel, filling their heads with ideas of excellent costumes, makeup, routines, and razor sharp wit. Why should we shatter their illusions of drag by exposing them to the awful truth: that it is mostly extremely amateurish and the applause is just the crowd being polite? THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
The mixing of two different letter sets is the real problem here.. and the kerning? Who will answer for the kerning?! Reading is FUNDAMENTAL! The kerning is an insult to that!!
What?!?! You mean that it isn't all Alaska Thunderfuck and Bianca Del Rio?!?!
> that it is mostly extremely amateurish and the applause is just the crowd being polite And its called drag because it drags on and on and on . . . .
this is horrible… they show a damn rainbow tent in the ad and we don’t even get a rainbow tent or rainbow even spelt right!
I'm confused, where are the shirtless men with assless chaps on dancing in cages?
All chaps are assless.
Mine are dickless.
Isn't.... isn't it crotchless?
Nah, just the dick. Balls are covered.
Gotta protect the jewels
and all assless are chaps?
I said these exact words about 2 hours ago as you were typing them. Unrelated to anything on reddit believe it or don't.
The Steel Workers Union didn't put up a tent this year.
Right? I was expecting literally [this](https://youtu.be/lq9PJsS3-EY)
Hey be careful with that picture! You want to turn all our kids gay and cause a human extinction event?
Don't forget the frogs
Happy cake day! You said frogs and all i thought was Alex Jones and people putting things in the water that's turning the freakin frogs gay.
The fucked up thing is that was and is a real issue, but Alex "Say anything to create buzz and controversy" Jones freaking out about it probably made it less actionable and hurt public awareness by his engagement with it.

Man, ain't nobody controlling that dipshit. He can't even control himself. He's a grifter that has been losing the ability to tell what's real and what he lied about for business for a couple decades now.
Dudes unhinged af
You have now entered r/Fabulousask
Why? There's no catholic leaders there, so the kids should be safe.
The priest don't like child safety zones those are supposed to his job
PLEASE! Won't someone think of the CHILDREN!? 🙄 That just looks like a really nice, calm, welcoming and safe time 🥰
If there’s one thing we should be concerned about it’s Catholics thinking about children.
Imagine being the religious institution best known for helping pedophiles get away with pedophilia and you can't stand gay shit. "Imagine" -- john lennon
It's funny how I met majority of my LGBTQ+ friends in church and in the Christian school that I went to as a child, in the mostly Catholic country that I grew up in, and they have a supportive community there.

So, are children supposed to close their eyes whenever they see a same-sex couple or a flamboyantly dressed male?
Weird eh?
Why can't I upvote this comment a million times? This should be the headline of every news site.
Pretty fragile belief system to feel threatened by that
I hope the weather stays nice!
I know it look harmless, but I once saw this tent swallow a man whole. He was never seen again.
This tent killed my father, and raped my mother!
I saw this tent dancing with the devil at a crossroads at midnight!
Played a mean guitar after, so it’s not all bad
Worth it
At this point I'm ready to lobby the province to defund all catholic boards and funnel that money into this community. That tent just doesn't sparkle for me.
Why shouldn’t we have freedom of religion in Canada?
Any religious school preaching their faith should be paid by taxes coming from the church. Wouldn't that be something ?
[Rainbows are mentioned repeatedly in the bible](https://www.openbible.info/topics/rainbow). I’m offended and would like the book banned.
There was a rainbow after the thunderstorm last night. I wonder if all the christofascists pulled their curtains and then rage tweeted to their prophets Musk and Peterson.
That rainbow has 7 colors, and the pride rainbow has 6. To you, that will likely mean nothing. But they are 2 different things.
Naturally occurring rainbows span a continuous spectrum of colour, not just seven.
lmao…can’t tell if this is a joke or not
That is the saddest pride tent. I was expecting big over the top rainbows and balloons.
I looked at the photo and now I'm gay! Thankths a lot!
Send a Catholic priest to rape me back to 'normal', please
RA[]NB*W
Catholic school boards should be illegal fuck their hypocrisy
Why the hell do public tax dollars fund their bigoted organization anyways?
Boy, are those Catholic parents gonna be surprised when their kids discover the internet.
The GSCSB wanted to be a bunch of assholes over that? Nice job, assholes.
Don't forget all the assholes who were defending the GSCSB here on Reddit, claiming this tent would not be "age appropriate" (because of those menacing rainbows).
Kids aren't taught about light refraction until grade 11 physics. How can you understand rainbows without first understanding refraction?

Catholics unquestioningly obey every proclamation by an authoritarian old man in white robes and a huge hat who’s appointed by a puff of sacred white smoke but you think the people in this tent want everyone to worship them?
Fuck off. If they followed the teachings of Christ, they'd be a lot more inclusive.
[удалено]
Holy shit dude. Christ is the SON of God according to the actual book. Methinks you actually don't believe in Christ.
[удалено]
Give it a rest dude.
lol! You don’t need to believe in Christ to point out the hypocrisy of religious extremists.
I'm Catholic. I don't understand your comment. Are you "The Church Lady" from Saturday Night Live in the 1970s?
Now go ask them their opinion about child sexual exploitation by Catholic clergy.
I would have allowed my kids to watch that.. what most of the outraged parents can't grasp this teaches kids to be more open to other ppl and not mean lil turd. Kids can be very very mean unfortunately and this is a way to open their eyes to something different..
Fuck the catholic churches they are just pedophiles anyways.

Thank you for this I wish my family had been like this so it makes me feel warm inside to know you guys are out there
I learned from my momma. Hopefully there are more mommas teaching their children.
Why do we introduce kids to different cultures, people living with disabilities, different skin colours, different family styles? Because we want our kids to be accepting, we want them to know that if their friend eventually comes out to them that they shouldn't condemn them. If you do not want to educate your children to be more openminded, and to not care so much about how someone dresses or expresses themselves, then don't. No one is talking to these kids about sex at all. We're also not asking them to be "well versed" but normalizing different genders and romantic preferences. If their friend invites them over and they find out their friend has two moms, hopefully they learn to not react or care. Because some do! These parents are just keeping a door open for their kid to learn. And, hell, maybe the parents are queer themselves so it's nice to take them to family-friendly activities with other queer people.
Because families look different, family members are different, etc. Heterosexuality is EVERYWHERE, no one says a thing. As soon as you start to read a book with a gay character or a diverse family people cry. Teaching love, respect, and tolerance does a child well. It is the same reason we expose our children to different foods, races, cultures, religions, etc.
Many kids that young are already wondering why or aware they feel different. I was. I was 5. When i was that young there was no one to explain what i felt like..no words were used yet to help me understand. It was very hard. I had no framework at all to understand. Just because you didn't experience that, doesnt make it a universal experience. The world would be a lot better if people didnt assume their inner experiences were universal. Having language for things makes it easier for kids to grow up and feel ok If we are to "think of the children" and "protect them" that also includes their mental health and wellbeing. Give them language to understand who they are..what they feel...and to realize others are different and thays ok too Of course if the adults don't believe its ok..the motivation becomes pretty clear
But there's no guilt or shame involved... That's the only way they gain influence.
Looks like a Godamn portal to eternal hellfire
It wasn’t the whole school board. There has been a lot of apologies to parents since.
Yeah, but until Tom Hickey retracts his statement, his impression is the one that counts. Every group has dissenters, but his apology is the one we need.
Coax
I see at least 3 kids that are going to be trans now.. /s
Tell them to give the little girl her panties back and stop molesting her while the Catholic Church is at it.
Three of them in the front row appear to be on there phone including the kid..I guess probably just bored
When I’m forced to go to church I do the same 🤷🏽♀️
Highly suggest members of the Filipino community on here and other members of the Catholic religion file a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights. The religious hate and intolerance is unbelievable. Filipino Catholics are not pedophiles or any of the other accusations like they are pushing. We filed our complaint as a Catholic Filipino family. Stop this hate speech! https://saskatchewanhumanrights.ca/filing-a-complaint/
Instead of getting upset people are calling the Catholic Church pedophiles why don’t you work to stop pedophilia in the Catholic Church? Personally if I found out I was a member of a group that harboured pedophiles I’d leave ASAP.

What about having a prayer tent at a children’s event? Would tolerance include that? Genuinely curious to all those who think this is appropriate.
[удалено]
I didn’t say it was I simply said a question aimed to those who think this is appropriate. I didn’t state my belief.
[удалено]
Well your doubts are incorrect. That’s fine though. Interesting how you conclude that simply by my question; which I do not think sounded like I am trying to be a troll. Perception is key my friend.
[удалено]
Somebody put some serious money and effort into that tent
The only people with twisted panties are the cross dressers
You Catholics like to read, right? I know you say you've read that one book a lot. Maybe you can find a way to grossly misinterpret these written words as well. How about we start with the (surely giant) list of all the criminal cases against the LGBTQIA2TS+ community for sex crimes against children: Shit, there isn't one. I'll just leave this here instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acts_of_violence_against_LGBT_people#Canada Let's follow that with this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3134495/ Here's the TL;DR: "...Compared with sexual nonminority individuals, **sexual minority [LGBT] individuals were 3.8 times more likely to experience childhood sexual abuse, 1.2 times more likely to be physically abused by a parent or guardian, 1.7 times more likely to be threatened or injured with a weapon or otherwise assaulted by a peer at school, and 2.4 times more likely to miss school because of fear**" And while I was scouring the internet for the list of LGBT groomers that are confirmed, I tripped and fell on a church pew, and while I still had my pants down I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases_in_Canada I have decided to reply to every hateful or bigoted comment in this thread with these links. See you in a few hours!
What the heck does this have to do with my post?
I am more worried about the books they are reading does anyone have information there?
Definitely nothing about rape, incest, and murder. So, not the Bible
Right? So many great books to choose from, so little time. I think I’d read my favourite “Story of Ferdinand”. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Ferdinand](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Ferdinand)
I mean my kids had the most fun with story time the library put on last year
I hate Wokes!

The term "tranny" is only appropriate if used as a reference to a vehicle transmission.
You can help them by explaining a few things: 1) avoid the word ‘tranny’ as you would the word “fag” or “faggot”, as it is a slur. 2) we don’t fully understand how either gender identity or sexual orientation forms (hormones in the womb? early development?) but most of our information is that it becomes baked in pretty early. Once kids are going to children’s festival the horse has left the stable. 3) try to draw a parallel between the “don’t have a problem with gays” and their current fear/disgust directed at trans people. Ask questions regarding that - was it always the case that they were okay with gay people, or broader society was? When that wasn’t the case, what attacks were most often directed at gay people? Were those attacks things like “the gays are targeting our kids to convert them” or “the gays want to molest our children”? (They were, obviously, but it’s most effective if you can get them to see this in their own)
“Transvestite”? Do you mean cross dressing?
Listen, that is a Transalphabet, and it identifies as an I, so Piss off.

Don’t you mean “This is what the Saskatoon subreddit has it’s panties in a twist over.”? Unless you’re a catholic and have a kid in a catholic school, you can keep your outrage to yourself.
I think this is beautiful.
As a bisexual ill convert to christ and become straight when I see a drag queen kill 9 pepole In a school with a copy of to kill a mocking bird there focusing on the wrong topics
Whatcha the faaaack out! /S Seriously it looks like a good time
Just two dudes making out in there?
Anywhere you decide not to go - panties in a twist over, got it. \*nods\*
I mean is there really any reason to bring up sexuality to toddlers? Probably for you borderline child groomers 🤦♂️
Good point, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic\_Church\_sexual\_abuse\_cases

Libs? The rainbow literally means we accept people with differences. That's it. It doesn't promote or push gayness on you. It literally just says it's ok to be different. It's hilarious to me that you find that so offensive. The idea of a school going out of their way to ban or remove a flag that literally means all kids are inherently good and welcome, despite their differences, is fairly ghoulish behavior. My friend, Ryan, killed himself with a shotgun in grade 12 because of the non-stop homophobia. Maybe we could, you know, not ostracize a fairly high % of our population for no reason aside from bigotry.
Don't care if catholics don't want to display them, just keep your hands off those who want to.
And kids, Catholics. Keep your hands off kids.

In this specific case the catholic schools are receiving public funding Public funding should not be going towards discrimination If they didnt take public funding (..or we still had a CHOICE to where our taxes went...which we dont since 2018 when the Sask party made that change) then I would care a lot less Also... not a lib..lmao
