Toronto Catholic school board to review decision to remove LGBTQ+ support line resource after backlash


The article referred to the LGBT YouthLine website as “pornographic” and a “smut site” because it contains third-party links to mature subject matter. LGBT YouthLine is a peer support line for queer and trans identifying youth up to age 29.

Pasquale said he believes in the importance of YouthLine, noting there are not many resources available for LGBTQ+ youth.
