On Wednesday, anti-LGBTQ+ protests are planned across the country and people are organizing counter-protests.
People protest at the Legislative Building in Regina, Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023.
Balial has organized one to follow the protest starting at 3:00 p.m., and he says he hopes the counter-protests are important to show people that movements against LGBTQ+ people will not be accepted. KJ Reed, a professor of studies in women and gender at Vancouver Island University, says the counter-protests are important because it shows queer and trans youth that there are adults and others in the community that support them.
“Some are choosing not to come out, so this language actually is harming them, and others are digging in and refusing to be bullied into silence, but there certainly is more of an awareness of safety,” they said. Reed says this language can be challenging because on the surface protecting children seems good on the surface.
