The Ontario legislature recently passed its controversial anti-bullying law. The law, among many other things, forces Ontario's Catholic shools to allow Gay Straight Alliances (GSAs) and allow them to be called GSAs. Response from religious conservatives was swift: They claimed that the bill infringes on religious freedom and the rights of parents to raise their children. The reality is that Catholic schools created an unsafe and unwelcoming environment for gay students.
