Marching in "Gay Pride" parade is an "internal union matter," Ontario English "Catholic" Teachers Association head says

news.nationalpost.com "As controversy grows over its plans to participate in Toronto’s World Pride parade next Sunday, Ontario’s English Catholic teachers’ union does not have to follow church teachings and makes its decisions democratically. The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association still plans to march, despite opposition from some Catholic boards and even Toronto’s cardinal. While teachers working for Catholic boards must abide by church teachings in the classroom, participation in a parade known for its nudity and gay pride is allowed because it is an 'internal union' activity... In March, the OECTA voted to send a contingent of more than 100 to the parade as a visible and vocal message that Catholic-school teachers in the province want students to feel supported and free from discrimination."
