Burns Lake woke up to a whole lot of messages written on the sidewalks from the Beacon Theatre to FYI Doctors. The unknown authors of the messages displayed love and acceptance and showed support to the LGBTQ. Then on Sunday a peaceful demonstration of approximately 10 people showed up downtown at the RV parking across from RX Drug mart with more messages. The group said they wanted to display positive and informative messages. A spokesperson for the group said, “This gathering needs to be an event that inspires hope and safety and shows our community, we are here in solidarity to help and support and the issues at large regarding misinformation around SOGI in our public school system. Some people in our community were completely horrified by what they have witnessed since Sept. 20, [referencing to the demonstration of community members protesting against SOGI].”
