Pride was on display as a protest and counter-protest played out at the Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board.
Around a dozen members of the Catholic group that the board identified as “Parents as First Educators” circled the block, displaying signs opposing the TCDSB’s decision to fly the rainbow pride flag later this month.
They were outnumbered by around 50 people who support the Board, including Rainbow Collective President Jason Veltri, who says it was a great way to start Pride month.
“Pride is inherently political, and it’s a protest. It started in New York City with Stonewall, and here we are continuing this, 52 years later. We’re still here having to protest for our rights and acceptance in the world, not just in Catholic schools,” Veltri says.
