Chantal (who asked only to use her first name) sports a rainbow mask at a rally for sexual orientation and gender identity being included in the Ontario sexual education curriculum, held on Paris Street on Oct. Those for the teaching of SOGI in schools say it is important for children to understand the current science on gender and sexuality, both for those children who will or who have already identified as gay, lesbian, trans, two-spirited or any of the other forms of sexual or gender expression that fall under the 2SLGBTQ+ banner. The acronym that has been adopted is SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity).
The two sides are at odds over the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity in Ontario’s schools. The ongoing dispute over Ontario's sexual education curriculum continued in Greater Sudbury this weekend as people on both sides of the issue held demonstrations.
