Ontario man accused of taking selfie with terminally ill patient, charged with harassment

A copy of the alleged photo was reposted with permission of the alleged victim and their family on Tuesday by Diversity Ed, a 2SLGBTQ inclusivity training provider for Canadian youth and adults.

The organization called the incident “an act of intimidation and violence,” accusing Pollock of “harassing and terrorizing the 2SLGBTQIA+ community as well as organizing protests like the one at Wortley Pride this past weekend.” In a since deleted statement released last week, a comment posted to Pollock’s Facebook account indicated he would be organizing a“I fully respect an event that is pro-gay, however bringing children into it with Drag Queen Storytime is what I have an issue with and why there will be a protest,” said a statement posted to his account, adding that roughly 60 people would also be protesting.

Protesters had a sign that read, “Why do drag queens feel the need to perform in front of our children???” while counter-protesters were heard chanting, “trans rights are human rights.” Meanwhile, an anti-drag protest is occurring at the corner of Elmwood Ave. and Wortley Road. One of the group’s signs read, “Why do drag queens feel the need to perform in front of our children???” Pride activists can be heard chanting, “trans rights are human rights.”
