Day Around the Bay Trans Community Activists Unfurl Huge Trans Pride Flag at Yosemite

Activists hung a massive 55-by-35-foot transgender pride flag on El Capitan in Yosemite, marking the largest flag protest in the park's history. This action responds to the Trump administration's removal of references to the trans community from government and National Park Service websites. The flag display aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the transgender community amid increasing political pressures. The protest took place on May 20, 2025, and quickly garnered national attention. Activists assert that such visibility is crucial for fostering understanding and support for LGBTQ+ rights.

The move has sparked discussions about the representation of marginalized communities in public spaces. Local advocates emphasize the importance of standing against discrimination and advocating for inclusion. They hope the demonstration will inspire further activism and dialogue surrounding transgender rights.
