A crowd of far-left activists hijacked a council meeting in Worcester, Massachusetts, Tuesday night to bully the members into making the city a “sanctuary” jurisdiction for transgender people.
The Worcester City Council caved to the activists by passing a resolution Tuesday night to make the city a “sanctuary” area for men who think they are women and vice versa, citing President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring the federal government to only recognize two genders, according to The Boston Globe. During a hearing, several drag queens and activists in provocative makeup and outfits made threats to the city council and claimed to be fighting for their lives as they demanded that the local members pass the resolution.
One drag queen with blue hair and heavy makeup threatened that trans people would make Worcester “a very unsafe place” if they did not get their way.
“I am multiply disabled … I am on the autism spectrum and I have narcolepsy so I couldn’t drive myself here, I had to hide from my driver that I was in drag, which is not an easy thing to do in drag … The reason that Worcester needs to be a safe space for trans people is because I can’t go home where I can’t work, I can’t qualify for disability, I can’t drive because I am narcoleptic and my family doesn’t support me because I’m trans and then come to a city council that won’t listen to my voice,” the blue haired drag queen said. “I need the city to protect me because no one else will. And, I need the city to protect me because the federal government won’t, and if you think you’re afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am. If you say that you’re afraid of Trump and that’s why you don’t want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.”
WATCH:
Other members, including one identifying herself as a professor at Worcester State University, claimed Trump is “trying to erase” them and ordered the members of the city council to ignore his executive order. More of them said if the council members opposed the resolution, then that would prove they did not mind if transgender people got killed.
One masked individual covered in tattoos compared Trump to the Ku Klux Klan and labeled him a fascist for requiring the federal government to recognize biological facts.
“Right now in our country, Trump is threatening the trans and gender diverse community,” one masked person covered in tattoos said. “He is using policy to take away protections, he is making it harder for trans people to renew passports and get the care they need. He is trying to erase us. These are no anxieties, these are indisputable facts. And he will not stop with trans people, he will not stop with immigrants, but he is limited, he’s a president, not a king. and he has the powers of the president as well as the limitations of one. So my question to the council is this, if he is going to use policy to hurt people, how can we use it to protect them? How can we stand up to him and say we won’t allow him to dictate what we do in our city?”
“We stood up against the KKK in 1924 and organizations like the YWCA stand up against equality today,” the person said.
One individual appearing to be a woman arrived with a painted beard and glitter around her face and raged at the council members demanding she be listened to and taken seriously. One male wearing a skirt and ponytail screamed at the council members to take action before more of his friends allegedly die.
“Can you look at me and tell me how many of my friends have to die before you do anything? Look at me!” the person screamed. “F*cking pathetic!”
A bearded man in pigtails whined that council members care more about “easy funding” than the lives of transgender people and do not mind alleged “Nazis.”
