After an incident involving anti-gay street preachers turned violent in Vancouver's West End Saturday, a lawyer in the community is calling for stricter enforcement of noise bylaws to stop disturbances before they escalate. "People in their houses can hear these street preachers go on for hours and that is what's disrupting the community." Dan Snyder is a lawyer and member of the LGBTQ community in Vancouver's West End. The man said he came to the West End to escape intolerance, Snyder recounted. And as a gay man, Snyder said, he took personal offence to the preachers' saying the love LGBTQ people feel is not real.
