Description
June 6 Wetaskawin, Alta. Keith Digby, keynote speaker at the graduation ceremony of Wetaskiwin Composite High School, caused an uproar when he encouraged gay students to stand up to adversity. In his speech Digby stated, "Some of you out there are gay…. The fight to be as proud of your sexuality as your heterosexual brothers and sisters are of theirs, is one of the most difficult I can imagine." Digby was the artistic director of Theatre 3 in Edmonton, and a former drama teacher at the school.
