Conservative policies in Ontario have stripped LGBTQ issues from the sex-ed public school curriculum, but one organization has taken action to reinstall them.

On Tuesday, Toronto public high school École Ouest and The Get Real Movement, a Canadian nonprofit that fights LGBTQ discrimination in schools and workplaces, unveiled the “LGBTQr” code. Created by MDC Partners-owned Toronto agency Union, the code is scannable with an iPhone or Android device and leads to a microsite educating students on the LGBTQ issues their educators have been forced to ignore.
