This past Tuesday, several of our members attended the Waynesboro School Board meeting to speak in defense of trans youth after hearing that there was a local group riling people up to speak out against trans kids using the bathrooms they're most comfortable with. With three pages of people (front and back) signed up to speak, we're pleased to report that most people spoke in favor of trans kids. We'll meet and fight prejudice any time anywhere.
