The Brandon School Division has rejected a call to remove books dealing with sexuality and gender identity from libraries within Brandon School Division.
The rejection came Tuesday night in front of a packed crowd at Vincent Massey Collegiate.
Earlier this month, many Brandonites began to email and call the school division urging them to remove the books and other resources because they believed it was only harming kids.
Cyndie Blythe, President of Winnipegosis Pride said Wednesday has been a great day.
"It was a terrifying moment to start but as the night went on, it became so clear that Brandon really rose to the occasion," said Blythe. "Brandon showed their true colours, it's amazing."
Blythe says she and her wife have felt so extremely supported after watching the meeting.
"It's been a great day to watch the news and watch it all happen," ended Blythe. "This is great news for so many."
