Advocates are calling for a reform of Calgary’s excessive noise and anti-street harassment bylaws after two teens were penalized for protesting homophobia and transphobia.
Earlier this month, Chinook Blast organizers had to postpone two performances due to anti-LGBTQ2S+ protests.A viral video on Twitter showed a man being thrown out of a drag queen storytime event hosted by the Calgary Public Library on Saturday. In the video, he can be seen yelling homophobic and transphobic statements at drag queen storytime participants and CPL staff.“I support the intention behind that bylaw.
“I think it’s a good time for the mayor and the councillors to stand up on behalf of the queer community and these kids to pursue charges against the preachers because that’s what the bylaw is for.”
