A Catholic school declined to raise the LGBT pride flag, so a group of pro-LGBT students staged a walkout. Then another group of students began a counter-protest against the walk-out.

. Now something similar has unfolded in Toronto, Canada.

A group of students is under fire after reacting negatively to a Pride protest in a suburban Toronto, Ontario school district. The protest was staged by students who were dismayed that the York Catholic School Board declined to fly the Progress Pide flag for Pride month after some students brought forth the proposal.

In response to that denial, students in Newmarket and across the York region staged a walkout in support of that flag. Those students say that they were subject to harassment by other students who were opposed to flying the flag, and antagonistic toward the all-encompassing Pride month as well. The walkout was at the Saint Brother Andre in Markham, and as students carried their Pride banner, they were followed by a group of students making fun of them. Video shows one student stomping on the trans inclusive le[s]bian flag in orange, white, and pink colors…

The students who were hostile to the Pride walkout tore the banners and signs, and threw Pride paraphernalia in the streets. One student said they “threw water” and were “judging” the students who walked out in support of the Progress Pride flag.Just like in the story from Burlington, it’s the liberal adults who seemed to be the most triggered by this.
