CBC – Drama by American author Raina Telgemeier includes side story on same-sex relationships.

Ottawa’s English Catholic school board has changed its mind and will put a graphic novel, which has a side story about two boys who are attracted to each other, back on its elementary school library shelves.

Drama, the 2012 graphic novel by American author and illustrator Raina Telgemeier, is about a student who wants to be part of her middle-school theatre production. The side story about same-sex relationships also includes the two boys sharing an onstage kiss.

CBC News obtained emails from officials at the Ottawa Catholic School Board saying the book was being removed from elementary school libraries because it wasn’t appropriate for students of that age. The book, however, was still being allowed for intermediate and high school grades (7-12).
