I ask you to please take a stand against flying the controversial gay pride flag on school property, and to institute a policy whereby the only flag permitted to be flown, is the Canadian flag. There have been reports that children who, for religious reasons, object to standing in honour of the homosexual flag, often get bullied by other students, and made a spectacle of by pro-LGBT teachers and staff. The homosexual pride flag makes many children of Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Jewish and other faith or cultural beliefs, feel uncomfortable and unsafe at school. It is a non-controversial symbol of national unity and shared pride for our great country.Īlthough school officials justify flying this controversial symbol as a way to promote “inclusion”, it does the exact opposite for many children and their families. The only flag that should be flown at our schools, is the Canadian flag. It therefore has no place on the school grounds. JAKARTA, May 23 (Reuters) - Indonesia summoned Britains ambassador on Monday to explain the raising of a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) flag at its embassy. The homosexual pride flag is a political symbol that divides our communities and creates conflict. It has been reported that further indoctrination often takes place, wherein the school requires the entire student body to come outside and gather around the gay pride flag, to celebrate homosexuality, transgenderism, and other sexual identities pushed by the LGBT lobby.

Another suggestion for the origin of the flag is college campuses demonstrating for world peace in the 1960s by carrying a Flag of the Races. 'The rainbow flag (also known as the gay pride flag or LGBT pride flag) is a rainbow flag that is used as a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) pride and LGBTQ social movements. I was alarmed to learn that Ontario's Greater Essex County District School Board voted to force all its public elementary schools to fly the gay pride flag for a minimum of one week, every June.Īnd furthermore, that public school boards across Canada are increasingly forcing or "encouraging" their schools to fly the controversial, gay pride flag during the month of June, without regard for the religious beliefs of every student, or their families. The riots, which saw members of the gay community stand against a police raid in Manhattan, are considered to be the most important event in the modern fight for LGBT rights in the US.
