The group 1 Million March 4 Children is holding events across the country Wednesday at noon
LGBTQ activists are planning counter-protests at the B.C. legislature Wednesday in response to a march by a group that opposes teaching children about gender identity in schools.The group is advocating for elimination of what it calls “gender ideology” from the curriculum — including discussion of sexual orientation, gender identity and pronouns — as well as mixed bathrooms from schools. It’s urging students to walk out of classrooms on Wednesday.
“Pride started as a protest. It’s not always rainbow and glitter, and we really need those people who showed up then to show up now.” Carnes, who is trans, said she knew who she was at a young age but she didn’t have the words to identify herself, because she wasn’t exposed to conversations about gender identity. Instead, she turned to the internet and struggled with shame, confusion and feeling out of place.
“The alarming rise of homophobia and transphobia across Canada has no place in our communities, least of all our schools,” the group said.
