1/ TW: Homo/Transphobia in #WatReg
@WCDSBNewswire will not fly the Internationally recognized #Pride flag & instead will fly their own flag that doesn’t represent our community
Trustee Greg Reitzel had his homophobia on full display, “Pride is the deadliest of the deadly sins.”

2/ THANK YOU to Trustee @MelVanAlphen for your work over the last year, consulting quietly with queer community members so you could speak for us in a meaningful way
You are a courageous and empathetic leader and our community is a better place because you are elected

3/ Thx @BoothRecord for reporting on this shameful @WCDSBNewswire mtg
Beyond disappointed by the WCDSB
Refusal to listen to their own students
Zero commitment to equity work & queer communities
Ppl like Greg Reitzel shouldn’t be anywhere near publicly funded education

5/ I almost threw up when I read Trustee Reitzel’s hateful comment
The message is clear - local Catholic schools are not a safe place for queer folks as long as homophobic people are among their leadership
This is unacceptable https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/2020/05/25/flag-waterloo-catholic-school-board-will-fly-for-pride-month-is-insulting-and-disrespectful-says-trustee.html

6/ @CityKitchener, how does your organization reconcile your commitment to equity work, while one of your employees publicly hates the LGBTQ+ community?
