Will Pride flags finally wave over Halton’s Catholic schools in June?
That question will be answered Tuesday when the Halton Catholic District School Board votes on a trustee’s motion to fly the Pride flag at its schools. Currently no Catholic schools in Halton hoist the rainbow flag in June, which is celebrated as Pride month, while public schools do. The vote will take place at a virtual school board meeting that begins at 7:30 p.m. and can be viewed on YouTube.
Nicole Hotchkiss, a Grade 12 student at Oakville’s St. Ignatius of Loyola Secondary School, raised the flag idea at the board’s April 6 meeting saying they were aiming to promote LGBTQ+ inclusivity at their school.
“It would provide comfort to students who belong to the community who may have struggled with feeling accepted in school,” Hotchkiss said in a letter to the board.
The idea of flying the Pride flag has been met with some controversy and generated more than 200 letters to the Halton Catholic board, the majority of them supportive. A petition was started by a student trustee in support of Hotchkiss’s proposal, which accumulated more than 3,000 signatures as of Monday.
Some parents who oppose the idea of flying the Pride flag wrote letters to the board saying it goes against Catholic teaching.
“My concern is that we Catholics are giving a message to the outside world that ultimately we condone the blessing of same sex unions or marriage,” a woman who identified herself as a grandmother said in a letter.
Father Janusz Roginski, a pastor at St. Gabriel Roman Catholic Church in Burlington, suggested that instead of hoisting the Pride flag, the school district fly the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as June is also for the devotion to......

No, but then neither is the so-called Catholic Church!
‘Pride’ is one of things that God hates. So they have the backing of the Almighty to reject such a flag.
The problem in Canada is Catholic schools are supported by taxes.. they must bow to the government
Such a quaint concept.
And this?
It is far left and somebody mentioned it, so it is a shoo-in.
Gay and proud, 2-fer of mortal sins.
Fly Pride Flags
now even flies are flying flags.
Those who mock God’s cardinal rules for mankind know they are sinning. They hope that if they can get everybody to applaud, they’ll feel better. Everyone knows that there is nothing about this to be proud of, but the homosexual propagandists have made saying so a crime. Those who have been trying to bring down Western civilization are happy to jump on the bandwagon of anyone actively doing just that. A good number of them are among those who have chosen homosexuality and can’t stop taking about it.
The moment they fly the flag is the moment they publicly announce they’re not Catholic.

What about the practitioners of bestiality and necrophilia? They deserve "comfort," too! So fly their flag!
