Saskatoonians rally for transgender bride

In Saskatoon, residents protested in front of bridal shop to support a woman who was shunned from being served because of her gender identity. 

In a report by CBC News, residents staged a peaceful protest in front of Jenny's bridal shop on Saturday to support Rohit Singh. 

Singh was turned down from the shop because she is transgender.

Protesters held up signs were asking people to boycott the Bridal shop.

Singh arrived at the rally, thanking the residents.

She said she never thought a crowd like that would come and support her. 

She added she was happier than her own wedding day. 

At the protest, there was also a call for reform on transgender rights. 

Protester Miki Mappin says that Saskatchewan's human rights law needs to address discrimination towards transgender people. 

Mappin says the current language used in Saskatchewan's human rights law to protect the transgendered is too vague.

150 signatures were collected in a petition to address the issue.
