Anti-LGTBQ “Million March For Children” outnumbered by “Billion March For Not Being Bigots”

If you're ever at an anti-LGBTQ march "for the children", ask these bigots why they aren't marching against the sexual exploitation of children in local parishes.
They will stutter on their words, I guarantee. Seeing this strategy in action is hilarious and highly effective!
- I've asked this question several times.
  Name one drag queen who has ever been convicted of grooming and sexually abusing children.
  I said to someone once, "There are branches of several international organizations in town that have a centuries old well documented history of grooming and sexually abusing millions of children worldwide then hiding the abuse and moving the abusers to other locations so that they can continue to groom and sexually abuse children. These are the same organizations that are telling you that drag queens are the problem. Why aren't you protesting them? "
  
  That's a bold but risky move, I wouldn't bet the argument on someone having dug up some obscure examples. The set of people in drag has to contain at least one, and using a 'gotcha' like that could backfire.
  But you're right, they do seem exceedingly rare. Like, weirdly rare compared to the general population, even.
- I'd like to see SOGI education advocates more explicitly frame their efforts as anti suicide initiatives.
- These were primarily Muslim. But I get your point
  
  These were primarily Muslim.
  Absolutely no difference if we're talking about sexual abuse (including children). There are victims within every religion community, so don't let their deflection deter you.
- Yes, but the government is not grooming children in the church, it is for grooming children in the schools, it is trying to force the grooming of children in the schools.
  
  Letting the kids be who they are, and letting them know that certain minorities exist is not grooming them.
  However, acting like parents own their kids is.
  
  Seek medical help I think you're having a stroke with that comment.
  Unless there is a missing /s there somewhere.
  
  Oh cool someone else who has no idea what they're talking about! I'm in the education industry and work closely with 7 schools in my local district. No one is grooming or indoctrinating children, those are conservative buzz words. They're simply teaching the kids that if they don't feel like they fit the gender norms that it's okay.
  
  Only the rabid right would say batshit crazy crap like that.
  
  Where’s the block button on this thing…
  
  And this right here is hate speech. The same comments were being done by the protestors

The Vancouver protest did well, outnumbering the assfaces by quite a bit. Multiples, maybe 5:1. Hard to tell.
Their talking points were incoherent and inconsistent. One person will tell you that they only care about teaching children and have nothing against trans people, and the next person will start screaming THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS.
Their chant game was absolute shit, they clearly hadn't workshopped for cadence or pithiness.
Lots of American politics mixed in, lots of attempts to shame the crowd about "free speech", they got a couple kids up to scream at the crowd.
- Because there is literally no credible argument against teaching children about being tolerant towards gay and trans kid, other than hate on LGBTQIA+.
  Hopefully with kids learning tolerance from an early age, they wont grow to be intolerant idiots like their parents
  
  I do hate on LGBTQIA+. It sucks! The acronym is too damn long, and a pain to type out. Can't it be something easy to say and type? Like WIE - We Include Everybody, PAB - People Against Biggots, NBE - Non Binary Equality, or something like that.

  Good to hear
- As someone from the UK, it always makes me laugh when people try and claim free speech as if we have the constitution here because they've watched too many yank grifters online.
  
  Yeah, it sucks but the literal peasant class in your monarchy doesn't have actual rights.

The protest in Nanaimo today saw a larger attendance by the Pro-SOGI side. We had better flags and banners. We took the high ground with our numbers.
- Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI), for those not familiar with the term.
  .
  That said, the rainbow flag crowd far outnumbered the dogwhistling "parents rights" crowd in Winnipeg today. And I'm hearing similar in many other cities.
  
  Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)
  Thanks for the de-reference on the jargon. I'm not in a spot where I use an initialism like that enough to retain it.
  
  I'm so happy to see this acronym catching on. I think it's much more inclusive. I actually recall suggesting it to someone like 5 years ago, although I think it should technically be SOGIM with the M standing for minorities. So if you're talking about taking to school kids about crushes, or what they feel it means to be a boy, that's SOGI education (inclusive of cis het) while members of the lgbtqia2s+ community would be SOGIM.
  
  That's good to hear. I was out for a walk at lunch and went past the Legislature. From my vantage I could only make out the nutters, which was depressing. I didn't have time to really investigate.
- This is a weird way to say it, but if I understand correctly a win for tolerance and acceptance, in which case I salute you!
- That's good to hear! Up Island we were outnumbered 4:1.

All overshadowed by "Zillion march for Zorg the destroyer".

Never heard of this site, and thought some of the details were a little weird, but then totally realized the satire by the time I got to "first ammendment rights as a Canadian"
- I love how these articles are written.
  They all start off really subtle, but get less so as you keep reading.
  By the end of the article everyone should have realised, at some point, the satire.
- It's the Canadian equivalent of The Onion
- Same. What tipped me off was when one of the supposed leaders of the Million March's original name was the "Million March for Why Won't Queer People All Go Away." Hilarious.
  
  That was the first clue for me, before reading futher and solidifying my theory 😂

Bigots are always a small group with outsized volume. Just like mal-adjusted chihuahuas. And like chihuahuas suffering ‘little dog syndrome’, when they try to bite, they can be punted across the room with prejudice.
(Note that I do not condone kicking small, obnoxious dogs. That was a joke. I do condone kicking fascists, however.)
- Except now they're desperate, so each bigot is a bigger problem than they used to be.
  
  Bigots being in the minority would mean that the problem has largely gone away.
  Does not follow.

I am offended. My brain kept going BOINK by reading LGTBQ while expecting LGBTQ.
Fuck you, whoever wrote that title.

Saw a bunch of these "peaceful" conservatives ripping pride flags from peoples hands. Especially that one nasty old witch ripping it out of a dudes lap from behind him, when he was sitting by himself on a wall.
Never saw the same from the other side.

I really love the little touch of the march leaving peewee hockey games unscreamed at.

Trillion march for just getting the fuck along
- Side 1: I want to be myself and be allowed to be happy
  Side 2: Fuck you, die, and go to hell
  You: man, can't you guys just get along?
  
  true

Ate the onion?
- No, why? AFAIK there is no rule against satire in !canada
