But Coulter, who says there is rarely a day in Waterloo Region where he isn't harassed for being gay, said it's "tokenism at its fin- est." Coulter said the issues in Wa- terloo Region are deeply rooted and more than a coloured cross- walk is required to fix that. Coulter used his own example of hate crime violence to illus- trate his point. A few years ago, outside of Jane Bond, a vegan LGBTQ-friendly restaurant in Waterloo, he was assaulted by a group of men and called a "fag- got." He didn't report the incident to police, but posted about it on Facebook. Police Chief Bryan Larkin found the post and direct- ed his hate crimes unit to contact Coulter. He was contacted, but nothing resulted from it. Aside from the physical inci- dent, Coulter said verbal harass- ment happens more often than not while he Rollerblades around the city. "In Waterloo, we have this im- age of being a high-tech and smart community," said Coulter. "But in reality, there is a lot of hatred. We just choose to ignore it." So how does one fix it? Coulter said it's working together - and there's room for improvement on both the part of government and the LGBTQ+ community. "It's about having those con- versations and consulting with the LGBTQ community," said Coulter, noting that more mem- bers of the community need to be able to step forward and speak about their priorities to local gov- ernments. Dave Jaworsky, who was per- sonally involved in installing Wa- terloo's pride crosswalk, said he's noted that having a multi-col- oured section of pavement is just the start. "This is not the finish line. This is just the starting line of what we want to do here in Waterloo," said Jaworsky. The city hired a graffiti remov- al company to clean the tire mark, but efforts to clean it have failed due to the thick buildup of rubber. Barring alternative solutions, the city will have to wait until it fades away. NEWS l Continued from page 1 More work needs to be done to foster inclusion VISIT US ONLINE AT WATERLOOCHRONICLE.CA
