September 20th Counter Protests

September 20th Counter Protests Masterlist:

The far-right across Canada are angry about pride month and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusive education. Many of them want provincial governments to enact laws similar to the "don't say gay" bills in the United States that ban the mention of anything related to sexual orientation and gender identity within public education.
