After being forced out of the United States by LGBT activists, the anti-trans “Freedom of Speech” bus has made its way to Mexico, where it’s been - once again - met with protest.
Sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage, CitizenGo, the International Organization for the Family, and other anti-LGBT groups, the orange shuttle has been visiting cities around the world imparting a hateful message: “Boys are boys… and always will be. Girls are girls… and always will be. You can’t change sex. Respect all.”
The bus has since been vandalized, defaced with graffiti and denounced by city leaders, including Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, who spoke out against the bus before raising the transgender pride flag at city hall.
Instead of parking the bus for good, organizers responded to the resistance by taking their campaign to Guadalajara, Mexico, where they were promptly greeted by protesters.
On the day the vehicle was scheduled to roll through the city, activists from National Congress of GLBTI, Inclusive Vote and Codise gathered to prevent the bus from moving by surrounding it in a large rainbow flag.
