A Mississauga, Ontario Public Catholic school banned the use of rainbows in the school as they represent pride.Students from the Gay-Straight-Alliance made a rainbow out of different coloured cupcakes, selling each for $0.50 and raising $200 for charity.
The school would not allow them to donate the money to and GLBT organization. Instead, they were told to donate the money to the Catholic homeless shelter, the Covenant House.
Queer Ontario supplied the GSA students with supplies to support them but most of them were not allowed or censored including the Ontario Secondary SchoolTeachers' Federation's own booklet.
The GSA will be marching in Toronto's Pride parade this year, handing out buttons and getting the word out.
