The Toronto District School Board insists that it’s not endorsing
polygamy. In a recent promotion to help
prevent “gender-based violence”, the school board’s website has a poster with
the message “Love has no gender” in white capital letters surrounded by various
hearts containing stick figure people.
In one of the hearts, there is an image of a man with two women; in
another, two women with one man.
Sounds like polygamy to me, but apparently not, at least not according
to the school board. “First, the board
does not support polygamy,” said TDSB spokesman Ryan Bird. “The images in
question were meant to support an individual's right to choose whom they love,
regardless of gender. For example, the reason for depicting two women and one
man was meant to show that a person can be attracted to more than one
gender.” That clarifies their stand, it
would be wrong for a man to have a relationship with two women but all right
for a woman to have a relationship with a man and a woman.
It’s good to know that those who educate children would never endorse
polygamy but have no problem endorsing bisexuality. But really, polygamy is only a matter of
time. Have a great week and remember: To see what is really possible, you
will have to attempt the impossible.
