The York Catholic District School Board has voted against flying the Pride flag at its Catholic Education Centre in June.

At a board meeting on Monday (May 29), trustees defeated a motion to fly the flag with a vote of six to four.

The decision came after advocates and critics clashed for months over the issue. Police have been called to at least three recent board meetings.

Demonstrators shouted at trustees immediately after the vote and were escorted out of the room. Some spectators were cheering the results.
