This June, Pride flags will officially fly for the first time at Catholic schools in Toronto. After a marathon meeting Thursday night, a majority of Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) trustees voted in favor of recognizing Pride this year and flying the rainbow flag. The School Board published a statement saying “We recognize that this is an important step required to demonstrate the TCDSB’s ongoing commitment to fostering inclusive environments that are safe and welcoming places for 2SLGBTQ+ students and staff.” At the meeting, all three proposals related to Pride month passed. That means rainbow flags will fly outside all TCDSB schools, as well as the board’s head office, throughout the month of June. The TCDSB is the largest publicly-funded Catholic school district in the world and encompasses more than 91,000 students at 196 schools. The decision comes after years of failed proposals and fraught debate over recognizing the annual celebration of LGBTQ2S+ identities.
