A support phone line for LGBTQ youth is urging Toronto’s Catholic school board to repost the resource on the board website.
LGBT YouthLine says the Toronto Catholic District School Board removed its information from the board website owing to what it described as “inappropriate material” on the group’s site.
YouthLine says the board pointed to an article that claimed the group linked to “pornography” on its website, which the organization says is untrue and “overt homophobia and transphobia.”
