Union demands Toronto school board trustee who questioned nudity at Pride Parade return donation

Sam Sotiropoulos questioned public nudity

TORONTO, Ontario, May 1, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A union that supported the 2012 by-election campaign of Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustee Sam Sotiropoulos — who questioned the propriety of nudity at the annual Pride Parade touted as “family friendly” — is now asking him to return its donation.

The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario’s (ETFO) LGBTQ Committee recently passed a motion requesting that Sotiropoulos return the $750 union contribution, Now Toronto reported.

“Unfortunately ETFO is one of the unions that supported Sam. He had strong labour support from several unions,” executive officer Pam Dogra said. “We're sadly disappointed. We will not be endorsing him again.”
