Catholic School Bans Rainbows
Catholic School Bans Rainbows

Anna North —An Ontario Catholic school has gone one step further than Tennessee's idiotic "don't say gay" bill — they've banned rainbows.

According to Xtra, St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School allowed its unofficial gay-straight alliance (official GSAs are banned) to hold an anti-homophobia event, but then prohibited all rainbow banners and posters.

1. The number of rainbows drawn at that school will triple next year.
Expression bans always turn out that way.

2. After the flood, I recall Noah asking God if he couldn't
"come up with something a little less fruity"

:rofl:

10. And those boxes of markers...
You will open that marker box and change the order of the markers BEFORE you come to class with them!

That's why we've got all these gay people running around. Because the school supplies come prepackaged in a rainbow pattern!

6. And what's really amazing is that Gay isn't a crime here.
Gays and lesbians serve openly in parliament and the military, same-sex marriage is legal, you can rent as a couple, live anywhere as a couple....the Catholic hierarchy is fighting a losing battle on this one.

Uhm, wait a minute, maybe that's not a good idea.

19. Since we are the rainbow
it is going to be difficult to get anyone to change their minds. Our company makes lots of mobiles, etc with holographic rainbow material. I sort of want to send a box to the school to see what they would do.
