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.

LGBT+ is just 5 characters, less than your username
