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

CALGARY, CANADA - September 20, 2023 : A person holds a placard with words 'Balance, not Bias. Let Parents Parent , Let Teachers Teach' as hundreds gather outside the federal Harry Hays building in downtown Calgary as part of the cross-Canada '1 Million March 4 Children' rally, expressing concerns about sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) curriculum in schools, 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)
