Some groups demonstrating to stop what they call 'indoctrination,' others in support of LGBTQ community

Counter-protests were organized in response, with groups meeting at places like Queen's Park, where thousands gathered. Mom and former educator Jane Agosta told CBC News that she came out in support of her child, who is currently transitioning. She said she wanted to speak out against the "inflammatory messaging" of the provincial government, spurred on after Premier Doug Ford said at an event earlier this month that teachers were "indoctrinating" kids.
