Activists Deface Iconic National Park

A group of transgender activists raised a transgender pride flag Tuesday on the rock formation El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California on Tuesday, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller.

The pride flag, at 55 feet by 35 feet, was the largest flag to be flown over the iconic rock formation, the project, called “Trans is Natural,” said. The action was done as an “act of solidarity” by a group of “transgender, queer, and ally climbers.”

A video published by a self-identified “environmentalist & drag artist” who goes by the name Pattie Gonia shows a group of rock climbers bringing the transgender pride flag up El Capitan and unfurling it over a crevice in the formation.

“Some carry hate; we carry the largest trans pride flag ever flown in a national park and unfurled it on the side of El Cap to prove a point,” Gonia says in the video while wearing a drag costume of a park ranger with the word “Gay” on the name tag.

Gonia explained the purpose of the demonstration was to show that “trans is natural.” (Read more from “Activists Deface Iconic National Park” HERE)
