This ad is from the so-called "Institute for Canadian Values" and it was placed in mainstream media in advance of the Ontario provincial election. It's a reaction to a proposed sex ed curriculum in public schools:
"Under the abandoned curriculum, Grade 1 students would have been taught the correct terms for body parts, including genitalia, which can help prevent sexual abuse.
But what sparked the ire of social conservatives was that Grade 3 students would have learned about homosexuality.
Sixth-graders would be taught about masturbation.
In Grade 7, concepts of anal and oral sex would have been introduced."
The Liberal government, if re-elected, has promised to do more "parent consultation" before proceeding.
The only confused people I see here are the advertisers, who are convinced that sexual orientation is a choice (and that someone would choose a path that would lead to being discriminated against by assholes like them).
Regardless, their ad has caused a lot of activity on social media, with this response from trans activist Chase Joynt:
Thanks to Marc for the tip.
UPDATE: The National Post has apologized for choosing to run the ad.
