'Moms for Liberty chapter president strips at school board meeting in attempt to smear trans kids' & other Mon/Tue news briefs

Beth Bourne, Moms for Liberty chapter president of Yolo County in CA, stripped at a recent school board in an attempt to smear trans kids.

Anti-LGBTQ+ activist undresses in board meeting to show how trans kids make people uncomfortable​ - Articles like this is why we need to support the LGBTQ press. Do you think the mainstream media will shine the light on how demented these right-wing activists are? Hardly. The woman in question is Beth Bourne and guess who she is affiliated with. 

Take it, Erin Reed: 

 Beth Bourne, president of the Yolo County Moms for Liberty chapter, launched into a tirade against transgender students in locker rooms and bathrooms before abruptly stripping off her top and pants. The stunt left board members stunned, forced the meeting into recess, and underscored just how unhinged the movement’s tactics have become. 

 . . .  This was hardly Bourne’s first brush with notoriety for outlandish, anti-LGBTQ+ theatrics. Last year she went viral after berating drag queens in a hotel lobby in Hawaii, demanding a refund for the mere act of encountering them. The clip drew a petition to oust her from her staff position at UC Davis. The university held off, but she eventually lost the job anyway—thanks to Trump’s education cuts, which she publicly cheered even as she admitted they cost her own livelihood. 

For those who don't remember her hysterical screeching at drag queens in Hawaii, here you go. Enjoy:

 

 Also, according to Erin Reed: 

Bourne’s crusade against LGBTQ+ rights has also been deeply personal—and cruel. Her own child came out to her as nonbinary, a revelation that, according to them, only hardened her extremism. “I was ready to come out to everybody because I had been holding it in for a really long time,” the now-adult child told the Sacramento Bee. “From my coming out to my moving out, her views that she expressed to me started to get more aggressive and more extreme.”

Now if you are truly pining for a video of her behavior at the school board meeting, here you go (God help you):

Aside wanting to tell the good news, another reason for me posting this article is another plea to support the independent LGBTQ press. During the war we are in with the Trump Administration (because it is a war), we need sources of information we can count on. Erin Reed runs an awesome substack which I have cited and complimented on many occasions. I vouch for her and the quality of her work.
