do what we say, or pay 15k  an ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory human rights training after it refused to celebrate pride month. emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of ontario, along the border with minnesota. in a decision handed down last week, the human rights tribunal of ontario ruled that emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the ontario human rights code by refusing to proclaim june as pride month. the town was also cited for failing to fly an lgbtq2 rainbow flag, despite the fact that they dont have an official flag pole. the dispute began in 2020 when the township was approached by the group borderland pride with a written request to proclaim june as pride month. attached to the letter was a draft proclamation including clauses such as pride is necessary to show community support and belonging for lgbtq2 individuals and the diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression represents a positive contribution to society. emo was also asked to fly an lgbtq2 rainbow flag for a week of your choosing. the human rights tribunal ultimately ordered the township to pay $10,000 to borderland pride, and for mcquaker to personally pay them another $5,000. this was lower than what borderland pride had been seeking; they wanted $15,000 from the township and $10,000 each from the three councillors who voted no. but mcquaker and emos chief administrative officer were also ordered to complete an online course known as human rights 101 and provide proof of completion  to borderland pride within 30 days.    tario-town-fined-10000-for-refusing -to-celebrate-pride-month
