The Vancouver Sun reports that British Columbia's Langara College removed a Valentine's Day decoration of a man and woman puckering up for a kiss, following complaints that the image was "homophobic." The college suggested that a "more encompassing, more neutral" decoration, such as a pair of hands in a heart, would be appropriate.

Student union representative Donavin Thompson commented, "I think the LSU would stand behind the decision ... that it was probably discriminatory." Thompson said the union would prefer the college's suggested alternative, although he agreed that a pair of hands in a heart might be offensive to a person with no hands.
