They definitely need to have the cops check that organizer's hard drives. That dude looks like seriously bad news.

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he was raised by lesbian moms before converting to Christianity as a teen. Pretty bad news already given that he's now made it his life's mission to go after queer people.

Eww, creepy. He must have brain damage or something.

Sounds like more armed protest is needed. See how safe the bigots feel then.

kinda a tough one - the trick is finding ways to reduce bigot's access to public infrastructure without violating their right to free speech. and this is an actual free speech issue, not like musk's or trump's ideas of free speech. I despise these dirtbags completely, but don't want to see them supported by becoming 'victims'.

There's no reward for allowing them a platform. They are free to say what they want somewhere else. You can literally do nothing and they will pretend to be the victim, plenty try to suggest the mere existence of trans people victimizes them.
Now, I'm not saying that it's useful to be tactless, that anything goes. Obviously one should be aware of how some techniques are better than others, and how some could fuel their movement. But there's no moral or ethical reason to assume their ability to speak should be inviolable, in fact that's just tolerating harm. Ask the UK how they dissolved the British Union of Fascists: Mosley stopped appearing in public after dozens in Brighton threw bricks at his rally.

So they're all in one place? All at the same time?
Convenient

Fucking dipshit tools.

Seems like counter-protestors should start going to churches to show religious zealots about the importance of safe spaces for communities.
