Saskatoon Catholic administration has been urged to 'include and accept all gender and sexually-diverse people,' after a recent email.
The entire description of the Rainbow Tent on the festival website at the time Hickey’s email was sent read: “From Drag Queen Storytime to inclusive dress-up performances filled with colour and fun, this tent is full of rainbows.”
“The development of the human person and interpersonal relationships are topics that must involve families,” Rivard said in a statement. “We recognize the internal email has been viewed by some as one of judgment, hate and exclusion. That was never the intent, nor does that represent our division’s beliefs. We acknowledge the deep hurt, and for that, we apologize.”
“We believe that people are worth fighting for, and we believe that children are worth standing up for.”Article content
