Heroes and Villains 2011:
Heroes—Champions of Freedom
Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains—the very best and very worst people, places, things, and ideas that have influenced the city over the past twelve months.
Today, in heroes: a few inspiring leaders who realize the fight against social prejudice isn’t over.

Slutwalk Toronto, for getting feminists the world over to walk the walk. |

Students Fighting for Gay-Straight Alliances, for inspirational advocacy in the face of institutional prejudice. |
 |
Buddy and Pedro, for tickling our funny bones and, yes, our hearts. |
