We understand your frustration and disbelief at the recent turn of events in your community. It is disheartening to witness the harmful consequences of prejudice and discrimination, especially when it affects access to essential services like healthcare.

The cancellation of the health clinic's contract by the school board majority, who campaigned on anti-LGBTQ platforms, further exacerbates the situation. It is distressing to see the well-being of children being compromised due to narrow-minded views. The decision to deny healthcare to those in need over a mural, which was intended to foster inclusivity and create a welcoming environment, seems disproportionate and unjust.

In times like these, it is crucial to engage in open dialogue, raise awareness, and work towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate society. It may be worthwhile to collaborate with like-minded individuals, community organizations, or advocacy groups to address these issues and promote positive change.

Thank you for sharing such a powerful story with the community in this space!
