Victory: Ontario Catholic School Board Votes 6-4 Against Flying ‘Pride Flag’ in June

The decision by the York Catholic District School Board comes as increasing numbers are standing up to the LGBT agenda in schools.

AURORA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — An Ontario Catholic school board just north of Toronto has voted against flying the gay “pride” flag atop its schools during the month of June, as Canadians increasingly protest the LGBT agenda in the education system.

During a May 29 York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) meeting, trustees voted 6-4 against flying the pro-LGBT flag atop of its schools and other buildings in celebration of so-called “Pride Month,” a move that has been met with pleasant surprise by pro-family advocates.

“This is a rare bit of good news in these dark times where the LGBT lobby is capturing every institution in society,” Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) told LifeSiteNews, as CLC has recently petitioned its supporters to campaign YCDSB against flying the flag.

“CLC is so thankful to the parents and concerned Catholic ratepayers who delegated to the YCDSB Trustees, and those who emailed and phoned the trustees to ask them not to fly the gay ‘pride’ flag,” Fonseca continued.

“Without them, this vote would likely have gone a very different way,” he added, thanking the six trustees who voted against flying the flag.

“The four who voted in favour of attacking Christian teaching on marriage and family should be ashamed,” Fonseca declared. “They should not present themselves for Holy Communion. We look forward to working with local parents to remove those four from office at the first election opportunity that presents itself.”

The school district needs to be prepared for incoming hysterical fits of faux panic and grief by the Trans.
Stand fast. Do not melt under their over-the-top antics!

This is what happened to management of The Dodgers over that cancelled Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence blasphemy.
Activists convinced baseball managers that unless the ‘Sisters’ nonsense was reinvited and enabled, there would be
‘deaths’ among the Trans population.

Should have been 10-0. Get rid of the moles.

I was just going to ask, what is wrong with the other 4?

Amen. The month of June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Putting aside the matter of homosexuality being against the Church's teachings, the fact there is no such thing as “transgender” and fornication outside of marriage being frowned on is “Pride” in one's self really something Christians should celebrate?

Was it not the original sin? Although there is an argument to be made for covetousness as he wanted to take what belonged to God but it was surely his Pride that led him to think he could and should take the throne.

Wait until next year, or the year after.

The Left NEVER give up. They are relentless until they get their way, then they simply move the goalposts down further to the next insane thing.

I see a time when being a professed Christian will be illegal.

Looks like Merrick Garland has to reactivate his teams in Canada again. Last time it was truckers. This time it’s those damn school boards and parents. Churches next.

Cardinal Geroge’s successor is Cardinal Blase J. Cupich.
And while Cardinal George was right about the future prisons, he missed the part where Pope Francis and his appointees will be running those prisons.
The future imprisoned and martyred will be the faithful traditional Catholics.

The answer to a *pride* flag should be one with black and white stripes.

Two colors. Two sexes.

The fact that a “Catholic” school vote was not 10-0 is deplorable. Next year it will be 0-10.
