Claire Pearen protests on Whyte Avenue at Pride Corner. (Submitted by Claire Pearen)
Every Friday night, dozens of members and allies of Edmonton s LGBT community gather at the corner of Whyte Avenue and 104th Street to protest what they say are homophobic messages from street preachers.
As street preachers shout about repenting sins, the protesters dance to loud music and wave rainbow flags and signs.
A petition to formally recognize the location of these gatherings as Pride Corner has gained traction online, drawing more than 7,000 signatures since it was created last week.
