How can they be fired for a breaking a rule that didn’t exist at the time? Or charged criminally. The bias is obvious. Selective prosecution.

She might have got a position in the current administration if it were a confederate or Russian flag.

Beyond frustrating

proof there's no #god: #maga assholes still living their best lives and not being smashed by thunderbolts.

I stand with this courageous and authentic ranger. 🏳️‍🌈🦄🏳️‍⚧️

I'm beyond words right now with this.

Would they have fired her if it were an American flag ? Probably would have gotten a raise if it were a russian flag. Invited to the gilded white house for a medal with a quick covfeffe and berder first.

The photos and videos of her achievement will live forever. And, she can say "I helped do that".

Where is freedom of speech

Shame on YNP! Where is human rights!? Someone works at YNP support FOTUS I suspect

Quoting: "Not to mention, Yosemite’s rule against flags on El Capitan wasn’t even signed until May 21 — literally the day after Joslin’s banner flew. That’s not enforcement; i’s retaliation, the kind of retroactive rule-making..." So wrong. Anyone with the good sense God gave a goat can see that.

It would be a lot less frustrating if her boss met a horrifying accident. I mean it's a national park. No one might ever find the body

Predictable.

We support you and stand with with you.

Huh. She maybe shouldn’t have done that; they definitely shouldn’t have fired her for this.

Doesn't matter how good you are at the job, freedom of speech shuts you down

I couldn’t read the article because of the pop-ups but are people allowed to just put up any flags in a national park?

Evil

😡

trump should be fired for making the oval office look like a vulgar pimp lair.

..

Just wrong!

I generally don't like people using natural landmarks in this way, as it hurts the enjoyment of visitors who might have just that one chance to visit. BUT It was hung during her own personal time, a day off work, no different from other flag hangings in the past & was before the ban. REINSTATE HER!

It amazes me how much they are afraid of symbols.. not action, but symbols.. it's as if they know they're wrong and are doing everything they can to hide it

Where the hell are the Civil Service protections for these people?

And yet, if she put up a flag with a swastika in it, they'd cheer...

Isn't this what Americans voted for?

Someday the haters will be out of power. I look forward eagerly to that day. People who do these things in the face of tyranny are heroes.

They'll never give up power willingly. The left needs to arm themselves

Okay, I just went to the article and read it. First - cool bat they got there. Next, that's one, uh... frickin' big flag. That's cool too. Finally (for this post), we exist, we always have, now we got a big voice and were gonna use it! Bigots can't take it away and we're not going away.

Bloody terrible!

Bentonville Arkansas has a controversy because they claim a Trans flag was painted in a bike tunnel!

She must get a lawyer to sue so the SLIME that CHOSE to discriminate are FORCED to pay AT LEAST $500 MILLION in damages. THERE MUST BE CONSEQUENCES FOR BLATANT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. If I were metting out the PUNISHMENT, AFTER paying large damages..they'd go STRAIGHT TO THE MEAT GRINDER🙏😇

hey George..as a gay man I'd think you'd have A LOT STRONGER RESPONSE/EMOTION than "how frustrating". I'm straight and my initial reaction is..this is no different than religious freedom of expression to wear a turban, yarmulka, keifah etc. She was WRONGFULLY TERMINATED..cont'd

Triggered? Oh my.

Obsessed by a flash

So sad what the 🍊💩 is doing to the world!

Nice one! 'maga impaired'

I'm not sure any company would have tolerated this. I can't hang flags or anything else at my work. When you're at work, you represent the company and it's their property.

How totalitarian

The breakdown of DEI Rights in this country under 47's Administration is a profound embarrassment... and more dangerous than many people realize. It is indeed the first wave of what occurred in Nazi Germany. Americans have not always done well respecting them.. but outright denial..NEVER!!

Keeps politics out of the civil service. Its the same here in UK, if you're some form of council/civil service worker you can't wear of put up anything political. People may not agree but it's the right thing to do

But not surprising, unfortunately <_<

This hateful regime violates the Constitutional rights of individuals every fucking day. We need to overthrow this illegitimate regime.

It's amazing how many people are expressing outrage while casually misgendering them.

When we lose rangers of this caliber, we all become the victims of this administration’s intolerance and incompetence.

Geez😔

Shame on the park!

Well that stinks!

Wow. Though it is a national park. Probably should have not have done that.

Hypocrisy Storm the capitol to overthrow election results.. and you get a pardon. Exercise your first amendment rights, rather harmlessly, and get fired

So, based on this logic anyone should be able to hang any flag they want anywhere?

I am not trans. Not being trans I can't claim I understand it. Actually I believe that given a choice someone who is trans probably would prefer not to be, after all who wants to be part of a misunderstood persecuted minority. It is because of this their (and I mean plural) rights are impotant

It’s George Takei expressing irritation, likely about a recent event or issue, though the specific cause isn’t clear from this alone. His frustration resonates with many, given the quick engagement on the post.
