CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — About 300 to 400 people came out to protest and counter protest in a loud and at times violent rally in Charlottetown on Sept.
Organizers and supporters of the 1MillionMarch4Children — a nationwide protest event about the role of gender and sexuality in schools — held speeches in front of the Coles Building before marching through the downtown to the Shaw Building.
He said children don’t think about gender or sexuality unless it is pushed on them. They are supposed to develop those ideas “organically,” he said.“I want there not to be any forcing of sexualization on kids,” he said. “Why is there a celebration of transsexual kids, when kids rarely express sexuality at all?”
“Anyone who doesn’t live under a rock knows that this kind of hate has been rising over the years,” Buote said. “It would be really nice if the City of Charlottetown and political leaders would actually try and protect the trans and gay community that they always try to pander to.”While the initial rally was loud and rambunctious, it appeared to be peaceful. Things got heated and violent during the march.
The route was blocked off at the ends and corners by police cars, but they did not stop any of the shoving witnessed by SaltWire. More police arrived at the end of the march, where a second rally continued for close to an hour.
