(LifeSiteNews) –– Thousands of pro-family Canadians gathered simultaneously in multiple cities this morning, including the nation’s capital of Ottawa, for the second annual Million Person March to protest LGBT indoctrination in schools. 

The Million Person March began at 8:00 a.m. local time in well over 50 Canadian cities and towns, and reports show that attendance, especially in Ottawa, was very robust.  

There were some reports of counter-protesters at events, including the main event in Ottawa, which saw confrontation between left-wing, pro-LGBT activists and some march participants. There was another report of a “radical trans activists” trying to disrupt marchers in Ottawa.

However, overall, it appears most marches went peacefully. 

Photos shared online by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) showed parents taking to the streets to voice their support for parental rights, as well as to protest the LGBT agenda creeping into the nation’s school system. 

CLC reported that at the Mississauga rally, speaker Ghada Melek pointed out that New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Alberta have all taken steps to protect students and parental rights. 

“When will Ontario join them in pushing back against LGBTQ indoctrination? @fordnation, will you listen to the people?” she said. 

Before the March in Ottawa, many speakers took to the stage to speak in defense of kids.  

“They [LGBT activists] are not the co-parents of your kids,” said CLC’s Director of Political Operations Jack Fonseca.  

“They have no right to imprint their personal beliefs on them. How dare they interfere with our children and demand ever more control over what our children learn and believe.”  

The event’s main organizer is Muslim pro-family activist Kamel El-Cheikh, whose organization Hands Off Our Kids, is putting on the event.  

Event organizers had hoped for a good turnout, encouraging Canadians to march in solidarity to “safeguard children” from “sexual indoctrination” and stand in favor of parental rights. 

“We refuse to stand by while the Government and School system allow sexually explicit content and gender ideology to be distributed in our classrooms,” said Hands Off Our Kids.

Hands Off Our Kids works together with other pro-family groups, including CLC, the Mama Bears, Veterans for Freedom, and, just recently, Canadians for Truth.  

The group’s main message, as per its website, is that “parents are responsible for their children’s moral and upbringing, not politicians and that is why it is our duty to speak up and have our voices heard when we say, ‘HANDS OFF OUR KIDS.’”   

Friday’s Million Person March was the group’s second major protest of the year. As reported by LifeSiteNews, this past June saw teachers and staff at an elementary school in Ottawa, Ontario, baffled when 591 out of 738 students were missing from the school’s LGBT “pride” flag raising ceremony.  

As reported by LifeSiteNews, LGBT indoctrination targeting kids has been on the rise in Canada and worldwide.
