Catcalls, drumming, chanting, noisemakers, shouting matches.

“This is what the wall of resistance looks like. There is no room for hate. This is what the sisterhood looks like. We are standing here to say: No,” proclaims Rose Henry with predictable irony.

To guardian Henry and intolerant others at the Windsor Pavilion and elsewhere, consider another message, and a generous one: Grow up. If you don’t care for the person speaking at a public assembly, or for what they have to say, don’t go.
