Remote tiny town is fined huge sum for refusing to celebrate Pride month or hang a rainbow flag

A remote Canadian town was fined thousands of dollars after it refused to celebrate Pride Month and didn't hang up a rainbow flag.

The town of Emo in Ontario was fined $10,000 and its Mayor Harold McQuaker was also penalized $5,000 on November 20 after a local pride group sued the community of 1,300 for not recognizing Pride Month.

McQuaker and two town councilors will also be required to complete mandatory human rights training within 30 days, according to The National Post.

They also have show proof of their training to Borderland Pride, which filed the discrimination complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.

The discrimination complaint was filed after the mayor said during a recorded meeting in May 2020: 'There's no flag being flown for the other side of the coin.'

Councilman Lincoln Dunn questioned the mayor during the meeting discussing if the town should formerly recognize Pride Month and fly a pride flag, asking: 'Sorry, Harold, what's the other side of the coin?'

McQuaker replied after a long silence: 'There's no flags being flown for the straight people,' according to TB News Watch.

The mayor said Emo is a good Christian community and that he took in the thoughts of everyone in the area when he made his vote, according to the outlet.
