Delicious Dissent of the Day: While St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School begrudgingly allowed its unofficial gay-straight alliance to move forward with its anti-homophobia event, it banned the display of rainbows, which the Ontario-based institution said are “associated with Pride.”

“There’s so many other things that a rainbow could be,” said the unofficial GSA’s 16-year-old founder, Leanne Iskander. “It’s ridiculous.”

Refusing to let the school’s anti-rainbow policy stop them from being Proud, the students decided to bake multicolored cupcakes and arrange them in a rainbow pattern. The best part? There were rainbows baked inside.

The event wasn’t without its hitches — the school banned most of the group’s literature on gender identity and safe sex and refused to allow the money raised to be donated to an LGBT charity — but Iskander vows to keep fighting the good fight until every Catholic school in Ontario has its own official GSA.

I will forever admire how kids these days come out so young, and stand strong and proud. Also, these look delicious.

“There’s so many other things that a rainbow could be,” said the unofficial GSA’s 16-year-old founder, Leanne Iskander. “It’s ridiculous.”

This quote is irrelevant, seeing as how they are obviously using the rainbow to promote awareness. It pisses me off my tax dollars are funding the school, which is in turn dictating how the money these kids raised can’t go to further their cause.
