IS THIS ANTI GAY SENTIMENT?

IS THIS ANTI GAY SENIMENT?

BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM CHRISTIAN INFO NEWS

Ms Chan says she was moved to develop the petition opposing gay-friendly materials earlier this year, after the B.C. Teachers' Federation approved development of pro-gay sensitivity training materials for teachers and parents.

She has been disheartened by what she says is Vancouver School Board chair John Cheng's attempt to downplay the offending letter, when questioned about it by Chinese-language journalists. She is glad the secretary-treasurer is distancing school district officials from the missive, but wishes the school trustees themselves would be more proactive on the issue. She singled out Trustee Bill Yuen as one who has been supportive of the petitioners.
