Case study #1

Mara is a 22-year-old student attending a publicly funded College in Kingston, Ontario. She is planning to go to a social event organized by the College for the end of the school year. As a consolidated tradition, every student wishing to attend needs to bring a date. Mara is homosexual and plans to attend with Catherine, her same-sex partner. After reviewing the RSVPs, the college organizers decide to deny Mara and Catherine's participation, on the grounds that the presence of a same-sex couple would be endorsing conducts that are contrary to the religious orientation of the College. Mara believes that this is a violation of their human rights and decides to seek a Court injunction to force the College to admit her and Catherine to the event.
