An amateur hip-hop video about new guidelines to protect gay, lesbian and transgender students in Alberta is attracting ridicule online.
The video titled ‘Gender Bender’ was posted to YouTube earlier this month and promotes the website FamilysShouldKnow.com — a resource page for parents who oppose the NDP government’s introduction of gender diversity guidelines in schools.
The woman rapping in the video is identified only as M H Wiebe.
