Counterprotest against hate rally directed at trans kids Queen's Park Saturday, September 27, 2025 10:30 till 15:00 What this is about An organization known for anti-abortion activism has organized a hate rally calling for healthcare to be forcibly withheld from trans kids. High-profile extremists are supporting this rally. We’ll be there to show trans kids we’re willing to fight for them. We’ll also make it clear to politicians that we won’t tolerate interference by organized hate in our healthcare. Trans Rights Commission Toronto web: trctoronto.ca bsky: @trctoronto.ca email: info@trctoronto.ca
We're counterprotesting a hate rally attempting to target trans kids' healthcare.
Details in the poster.
The racist hate mobs are coming to Christie Pits on Saturday Sept 13.
The choice is provocative. This is where people fought the Nazi's in Toronto in 1933.
There will be a huge rally in the park this Saturday at noon to show the haters they aren't welcome.

Will share: There’s a wonderful campaign going on to pressure McMaster U (the university in question) to cut ties with SEGM. The statement was actually released in good part owing to pressure from this campaign:

A screencap from the Hamilton Spectator of an opinion piece titled "No pride in pseudo-science. "McMaster University must take seriously the reputational, ethical and real-world harms of allowing hate-funded research to masquerade as science."
"We are calling on McMaster University to practice what it preaches: It cannot continue to hypocritically post Pride statements or fly the rainbow flag while profiting from a partnership with an anti-LGBTQ-plus group."

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex-phobia, and Transphobia
The theme this year is "the Power of Communities" to highlight the strength and resilience that emerges from our collective solidarity.
Something much needed in those darkening times

A black-and-white photograph shows a group of people marching on a wet street, holding banners and signs. Prominent banners read "TORONTO GAY ACTION" and "CANADA TRUE NORTH STRONG & GAY," while another sign says "WE DEMAND FREEDOM TO LOVE." Some participants hold umbrellas, and a large building is visible in the background, suggesting an urban setting during a rainy protest.
Until 1969, homosexual acts in private or public in Canada were listed under the Criminal Code as "gross indecency".
A person caught in a same sex relationship faced jail time. That all changed (somewhat) with the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1968/69.

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law.
I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs.
Stay away at this time.
