Hundreds of people gathered outside the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina on Saturday to speak out against a new provincial government policy that requires parental consent when children under 16 want to use different names or pronouns at school.

Youth advocate reviewing Sask. policy requiring schools to get parental permission for pronoun changes

"Kids just want to be who they are," Blakley said at Saturday's rally. "Sometimes homes are not safe and they can't be out there."Leticia Coles's child is non-binary, and has friends who are also non-binary or trans but don't feel comfortable coming out to their family. "I've made sure that we do have an extra space in our home for their friends, but no child should ever have to fear being thrown out just because of who they are."Ariana Giroux, director of the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity —a non-profit service provider housed at the University of Regina — hopes the rally sends a message to the provincial government.
