Polydoros, 27, says he feels safer in Canada. But nationwide protests in September over LGBTQ-inclusive school policies disturbed him.

Many demonstrations were held under the same name, “1 Million March 4 Kids.” Organizers say children should not be taught about LGBTQ identities in school, which they say amounts to the “indoctrination and sexualization” of children.

    I know what you’re saying, but sometimes it is just the vocabulary.

    I remember a conversation with an older woman remembering fondly going dancing with her gay friends.

    The words she were using would be considered slurs today (even if a bit dated) but they were not meant maliciously.

    It’s easy to assume bad intentions, but it does happen that it’s just someone that’s not informed of the current “correct” vocabulary, and that’s okay as long as it’s addressed.
