Court challenge on province’s gay-straight alliance law to be heard in Medicine Hat on Wednesday
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Alberta’s law regarding gay-straight alliances faces a court challenge on Wednesday in Medicine Hat.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is representing 25 faith-based schools and organizations in the court challenge, which will be heard in the Medicine Hat Court of Queen’s Bench. The organization is hoping for a stay on the bill’s enforcement pending a constitutional challenge.
The challenge was filed in April in response to Bill 24, which was passed by the province last November.
