Rosa Brooks - Triangle Program Student

Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke asked media to shut off their cameras before he broke down during his speech on gay rights and anti-bullying, in front of hundreds of parents, educators and students. Burke on Monday helped launch a new website MyGSA.ca — the first national resource dedicated to helping lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.. Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke asked media to shut off their cameras before he broke down during his speech on gay rights and anti-bullying, in front of hundreds of parents, educators and students. 

Burke on Monday helped launch a new website , MyGSA.ca — the first national resource dedicated to helping lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ) youth. 

Burke’s son Brendan was 21 when he was killed in a car crash last February — three months after the father-son pair made headlines when it was revealed Brendan was gay. 

“We have to get to a point where you can go to school free of fear,” Burke said at the launch at Sutton Place Hotel. 

The website was created to protect the human rights of LGBTQ Canadians affected by bullying. It contains resources for youth, including questions and answers about human rights legislation and how to start a gay-straight alliance at schools. 

While Burke said he didn’t recall his son being picked on — possibly because of his 6foot stature — he witnessed an incident in high school that angered him. 

“I remember the one bullying incident I witnessed in high school, a disabled young man was picking up his books off the floor and someone kicked him as hard as they could,” he said.

Rosa Brooks, an 18-year-old who is enrolled in the Triangle Program, one of three LGBTQ classrooms run by the Toronto District School Board at the Oasis Alternative Secondary School, said the program allowed her to feel safe when she came to school. 

“I grew up with two moms, so not only did I battle homophobia as a child, it was harder for me to come out,” she said. 

“I really hope that several years down the road, we won’t need a program like Triangle and that we will be accepted wherever we go.”
