@moreperfectunion: A worker at Yosemite National Park was just fired for hanging a trans flag on El Capitan in their personal time. "It's devastating to dedicate yourself to something that you don't see partisan lines for, and to then be the subject of someone's political whims," they told us. "Yosemite is my everything."
No flags should be allowed on El Cap or anywhere in the Park, besides specific flagpole locations near key buildings. And then just the American flag. I don’t want to see ANY flags defacing El Cap and the surrounding natural beauty. I don’t care if it’s a flag for something I agree with or not. No flags!!!!

I was in a group touring Wind Cave National park where a ranger told us her pronouns before the tour. I was like…why do I need to know that? I’m here to look at a freaking CAVE!!

All of the damage that will be done over the next 3.5 years will take a lot longer to fix... If we can in our lifetimes.

Sadly, this is how they maintain control. As a queer Veteran & former Fed, if you’re active in the Executive Branch, you are political. As such, you must at least appear to align to the leadership’s mission. If we think abt it, it’s not different from private sector for a private citizen where one can be fired for the same exact reason. I understand the why, the purpose. But when you move in these ways, we must be aware & think it out & be willing to accept the potential consequences.

I’m really sorry to hear that you lost your job for standing up for a great cause. It's disheartening to see how out of touch this administration seems.
