I think the protests are rediculous, abhorrent and any other adjective we want to use.
But I also realize people will hate other people - and within the law can do what they want. People hate other people for many stupid reasons. If they are not breaking the law other then disassociating with these people what do you want done?
It has been asked many times in this thread- But what do you actually want to change? Other then wishing "People would be nicer?/Not ignorant"
Colored crosswalks, story time, etc doesn't change people's minds (In fact it probably adds to their anger) -
These also aren't things, and I quote, that contribute too "you either believe LGBTQ people should be able to live their lives just the same as anyone else without discrimination, or you don’t"
So what do you think Canada needs to do differently? Other then removes freedom of speech from people who don't like this community? Because that is the only way to actually silence a person. Make it criminal to express that opinion.

I don't know, though. An angry guy getting angrier is kind of what angry guys do, so fk 'em.
I think it's good the younger generation(s) are growing up in a world where tolerance is displayed. Especially if they're being raised in a bigoted home where LGBTQ is bad or something. Crosswalks and such are a simple way to broadcast tolerance. I like that my kids have been raised in a world with pride flags. I think the first pride crosswalk we saw was in Banff and we all thought it was pretty cool. It's nice to have public policies and displays that are inviting to everyone.
