On July 25, 2019, Tim Gottschall checked his mailbox at the North End Dartmouth Ocean Breeze apartment he shares with his partner in northwestern Dartmouth and found homophobic slurs sprayed across the outside wall, not the fist time - a similar incident happened four years ago.

RougeFatale organized a rally and march, "Stroll The Breeze" through the neighbourhood that weekend: “They picked the wrong week to do this,” said Rouge / JasonSpurrell. More than 100 people (and pooches) marched around the same neighbourhood dressed in drag and rainbow colours.

Spurrell said the idea for a “stroll” around the neighbourhood started small, but interest grew rapidly and there were soon about 20 people helping with organization and hundreds responding to invitations on social media.
