I don't like them using a rainbow flag for this story, it's not about the LGBT* community or rights, it is about surrogacy.

Ottawa had argued the benefits are meant to cover medical treatment when diplomats or their relatives can't access adequate care at their posting location, and not a surrogate pregnancy, regardless of sexual orientation.

The article contains people from the LGBT* community, but is not about the LGBT* community.
