Catholic school board won’t fly ‘Jesus’ pro-gay Pride flag after severe backlash
by Lianne Laurence, LifeSite:
An Ontario Catholic school board reversed its decision to have schools fly a “Catholic” version of the pro-homosexual “Pride” flag after backlash from across the spectrum.
LGBTQ activists and allies blasted the Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) for not planning to fly the “traditional” rainbow Pride flag in June, which is designated as “Pride” month across the province.
And pro-family groups such as Parents As First Educators (PAFE) and Campaign Life Coalition blasted the board for the scandal of planning to recognize “Pride Month” at all, including flying a “Catholic” version of the Pride flag.
Meanwhile, Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board is raising the pro-homosexual rainbow Pride flag in front of its schools this month to demonstrate its commitment to “inclusion” — a practice it began last year.
The so-called Catholic version of the Pride flag that the WCDSB planned to raise at schools depicts Jesus with his arms outstretched over an array rainbow-coloured figures, above the words “We are all wonderfully made,” and a quotation from 1 John 4:19: “We love because he first loved us.”
