Mississauga school blocks gay-support quote from movie posters
By Graham Slaughter
A gay high school student feels that his Mississauga French Catholic school is trying to silence him after posters featuring a Harvey Milk quote were rejected.
The words from Milk (the openly gay San Francisco city supervisor assassinated in 1978) "All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential" were not allowed on posters student Christopher Karas wanted to put up for a gay-straight alliance group in November.
According to Karas, the vice-principal at École Secondaire Catholique Sainte-Famille asked that "sexual orientation" be changed to "self expression" to be inclusive of non-LGBT students.
