Not anti anything. Just pro parent rights and protecting kids.
Somebody didn’t get your memo. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted about the Canada-wide protests, saying "Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country — you are valid and you are valued."
Thousands of people gathered in cities across Canada on Wednesday for competing protests, yelling and chanting at each other about the way schools instruct sexuality and gender identity and how teachers refer to transgender youth.

So is this an anti-LGBTQ+Etc…thing or a pro-Parents Rights thing or a mish-mosh of both with everyone off on their own tangents without any clear definition???
Organizers of the marches said they were protesting the “premature sexualization and potentially harmful indoctrination” of children, but that they aren’t against LGBTQ+ people.
Ah, OK, but then why the counter protests?
Is this one of those “Feels” things where what is being protested is dependent upon what one feels like protesting that day?
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh led a group of counter-protesters down Wellington Street. A heavy police presence separated protesters from counter-demonstrators, with competing chants about protecting trans youth and keeping gender ideologies out of schools.
“We know that there are a lot of folks that don't feel safe because of the rise in hate and division that's targeting vulnerable people,” Singh said. “But then you see a lot of people coming together, and it shows the strength of solidarity, of us supporting each other, of having each other's back.”
Smells like it’s everywhere, without being clearly defined. Sounds noisy.
Hours later, Ottawa police said they arrested two people for inciting hatred at the protest "by displaying hateful material," and arrested another person for causing a disturbance. "Hate or bias-motivated crimes will be fully investigated," police said on X, formerly known as Twitter…because Twitter…I mean X.
I love the smell of hate and fear in the air. Tangy!
Hundreds of people gathered for both a protest and a counter-protest in downtown Vancouver.
Counter-protester Tomi-Rose Clarke said the ideas being espoused by the other side are "scary" and "dangerous to kids, and people with trans kids, and adult trans people."
Premier Blaine Higgs attended the protest Wednesday outside the legislature in Fredericton, telling reporters that he has a hard time understanding why his government's policy is controversial.
"I think our parents should become knowledgeable about what their kids are being taught and what is important for them to learn in schools and what's important for parents to make decisions on with kids that are under 16 years old," he said.
Jashandeep Dhillon said she doesn’t want her children to be exposed to gender issues.
“I don’t want them to be educated on whether they are a girl or a boy,” she said. “Let them be what they want to be. If he decides in his life, when he’s an adult, if he wants to change, I’m OK with that.”
All kinds of divisive stuff at the above link that sounds like the protestors and counter protesters are protesting two different things at completely different protests, but they weren’t…& the fringe clowns come out ‘cuz they have nothing better to do on both sides. Good times.
