Park Ranger Who Helped Hang Trans Flag on El Capitan Is Fired

cbs

Shannon “SJ” Joslin was terminated last week after working for nearly five years as a ranger and wildlife biologist at the northern California national park, Joslin wrote in a social media post Monday that has since garnered widespread attention online. 

“In May I hung a trans flag on El Capitan that celebrated my acceptance of my identity,” Joslin captioned the post. “I hung the flag in my free time, off-duty, as a private citizen. It flew for a total of two hours in the morning and then I took it down.”

Joslin referred to their ranger position as a “dream job.” They were fired by a park official for “failing to demonstrate acceptable conduct” in their role as a Yosemite wildlife biologist, according to the social media post, which accuses the National Park Service of violating their constitutional rights to free expression.

  1. Not promoting an agenda huh?
    Well here is another fine example of the LGBTQIA+WTF trying to shove their lifestyle down our throats and up our collective asses!

    Nuther sez “We’re tired of your shit” than being terminated!

  2. You want to celebrate your ‘acceptance of my identity’, then do it in private deary. The rest of don’t care about your in your face nonsense. There is a time and place for things like that and that wasn’t the time nor the place for it. Glad you got fired, you deserved it.

  3. Celebrate your acceptance of your identity in the privacy of your own goddamn closet from now on. We have had a belly full all of you bastards and your attention seeking bullshit and you and your buddies in government and the media bullying others into “going along to get along.”

  4. Furthermore, I’ve had it with every goddamn activity at State and National Parks being an excuse to showcase and shove your phony baloney climate change propaganda on kids.

  5. “…take place in one of the park’s designated “free speech locations.””

    …not a fan of the trans message, but also not a fan of “free speech locations”, seeing as how the ENTIRE COUNTRY is supposed to be one…

  6. The take-home on this story — as with similar ones — is that our gov’t is still coasting along with millions of people just like this park ranger, who believe they own their various fiefdoms and will run them as they see fit. It won’t change overnight, or even in a few years. Most of them will simply seethe behind smiling faces until they can get a Leftie back in the WH. They’re not about to give up their cushy situations, pay, perks, and pensions, without a fight. There will be that constant ~25% who cannot help themselves and will rat themselves out on the job and social media, but they are just the tip of the iceberg.

    Did 47 eliminate the federal union yet? I can’t remember.
