    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    James Demers, a transgender man and organizer of the rally in Calgary with the group Queer Citizens United, said the demonstration was about creating a show of solidarity with those who oppose the proposed policies.

    “Rather than protesting a specific action, this is about creating a demonstration of love for the community, so that the sense of isolation and loneliness which is trying to be accomplished through this legislation is combated,” said Demers.

    Leah Zurbrigg said it was important to her to attend the rally in Calgary to share her support of transgender youth and adults alike.

    "I have a lot of trans friends who I value very deeply and I know people who are in dangerous situations at home, and the fact that they could be outed puts them and their lives at risk.

    A small number of representatives from the group 1 Million March 4 Children, which opposes gender identity education in schools, was also present in Calgary to demonstrate support for the premier’s proposed policies.

    On Thursday, Smith said her government will introduce legislation this fall to support the planned policy changes affecting transgender and non-binary youth and adults.
