Calgary's '1 Million March 4 Children' Draws Hundreds Supporters And Counter-Protesters

CALGARY, CANADA - September 20, 2023 : An activist holds a placard with words 'Our Blood Is On Your Hands' as many of the LGBTQ2+ community, and allies, stand in opposition across the street from the Million March 4 Children rally in downtown Calgary, on September 20, 2023, in Calgary, Canada. The '1 Million March 4 Children' featured rallies and marches across Canada, opposing Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) curriculum and gender-inclusive school policies. These protests, often criticized as anti-LGBTQ, sought to remove 'pronouns, gender ideology, and mixed bathrooms' from education. Some cities witnessed small counter-protests, showing support for 2SLGBTQ+ activists. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
