Dawn Whitwell said she was removed from the list of performers for the June 6 event at Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School after a member of the Toronto Catholic District School Board searched her name online and discovered she was married to a woman.
“I was invited to perform comedy … basically, my regular stand-up set plus some light references to growing up in a Catholic environment,” Whitwell said.
“Then a member of the board Googled me, found out I have a wife, and the decision was made to drop me.”
Whitwell received an e-mail stating that the board had rescinded its offer due to her “affiliation to gay marriage.”
“I laughed, because I was told it was a function geared at curbing gay intolerance.”
I've never understood how people can claim to be against homo-phobia but simultaneously be againt denying homosexuals the right to marry like everyone else.
It's like the guy who always says racist @#@ but starts it off with, "I have lots of black friends but..."
