WINDSOR, ONT. – On one of the coldest days so far this winter a small group of men walked back and forth on the sidewalk in front of a central Windsor shopping plaza to protest the proliferation of pornography.

The men have been holding their silent anti-pornography protests for almost three years.

About four or five of them gather the first and last Fridays of each month at 5 p.m. for the one-hour picket along one of the city’s busiest streets, Dougall Avenue.

Their picket always takes place at the same location in front of a small shopping plaza where there is a store called Adult Video, which rents pornographic movies.

Their signs read: “Pornography Hurts Children, Pornography Destroys Marriage, Pornography Degrades and Enslaves Men.”

Mike Horoky, a Catholic deacon, started the protest. He said the location was chosen because of its high profile, especially during the rush hour.
