Hi everyone! Today I and a few others will be counter-protesting the YYC Muslims anti-trans protest at City Hall from 6:30 to 8:30 tonight. Feel free to share that this counter-protest is happening, as there is strength in numbers!
Edit: the image is advertising the protest in question, not the counterprotest.
I can't even tell what side this is supposed to be for lmao
Actually on second thought the horrible graphic design gives it away as right wing.
I find it revealing when a right wing protest uses the language of inclusiveness, yet carefully avoids being clear about their purpose and goals. It’s a tacit admission that they know their philosophy of hatred and division isn’t widely accepted.
Why is that every single one of these posters look like it was made by a junior high kid who just learned about word art?
Don't call being trans an "ideology". You're playing right into the transphobes' hands by doing that.
They're organizing a counterprotest to that protest.
The counterprotest should also be called Leave Our Kids Alone
This entire graphic is so ambiguous that it could be used by either side.
Apparently, these people are the transphobes
