Edmonton the scene of duelling protests over Alberta legislation protecting LGBTQ individuals


Failure to push back against a law giving students the right to a gay-straight alliance tells the provincial government it can steamroll over parents’ rights and religious freedoms, speakers told a rally outside the Alberta legislature.

“If we do not make our voices heard, we will find comprehensive sex ed imposed on our kids,” said Sara Hudson, a mother with Parents for Choice in Education.

Introduced by the former Progressive Conservative government, and passed unanimously by the legislature in 2015, Bill 10 requires schools and school districts to establish a gay-straight alliance or similar support group when a student requests one.

Hudson said the legislative changes are a “gross overreach” of government into parents’ lives, and called for it to be amended.
