to DC'er...........GET OVER IT! It was 20 years ago. The 'pink' school in question is located in a federal electoral district represented by a gay Member of Parliament, who just married his same sex partner in August, in a country where gay marriage is legal everywhere, but where the first step was taken in little ol backward NS when same sex registered domestic partnerships were the prelude to national gay marriage.
We all have bad experiences at some point. Rude behaviour does not have geographic boundaries.
