Story here. Excerpt:

'TORONTO – This haunted house warns of "severed" male genitalia while encouraging women to flash theirs.

Billed as art, you are paying for it.

"Don't trip over the severed penises," says one sign inside the guided tour of Toronto's own "lesbian haunted house."

There is also a mock "ball-busting room."
...
Allyson Mitchell, the artist behind A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House, has received thousands in government grants.

Acknowledgment is posted on the outside of Killjoy Kastle's rented location that funding was provided by the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council (OAC) and Canadian Council for the Arts. The artist undertook her work in collaboration with the Art Gallery of York University (AGYU).

"It's kind of funny that creator Allyson Mitchell will be very discriminating in terms of who she'll let into her adorable lesbian feminist haunted house but she sure doesn't discriminate when it comes to scarfing down tax dollars," commented Sun News Network's David Menzies, who broke this story.

"Imagine a man putting up a haunted house with baskets of breasts or severed vaginas? The outcry over the perceived misogyny would be off the charts. But apparently, misandry is not only tolerated but publicly funded."

It is outrageous this province has difficultly funding life-saving cancer medication for a woman with a brain tumour but has money to throw around for this.'

This is really sick....Paid for by public funds and they are blocking the entry of news reporters? What about the public's right to disclosure of how the funds were used?

They should have done a house of horrors based on abortion. They could have dead babies everywhere....oh wait, feminist embrace abortion...nevermind.
