Alberta’s top court dismisses appeal in legal battle over gay-straight alliances


CALGARY—Another legal attempt to suspend provincial legislation protecting gay-straight alliances has been blocked by Alberta’s highest court. While GSAs have been accepted in Alberta schools since 2015, Bill 24 — introduced in 2017 — further protects them. They also said adhering to Bill 24 would impinge on their religious beliefs. However, regardless of the ongoing legal battle, the incoming United Conservative government’s educational reforms include removing Bill 24. Since the ruling was 2-1, those fighting for an injunction on Bill 24 are still able to ask for leave to pursue their case at the Supreme Court.
