LGBTQ activists scaled Yosemite National Park’s iconic El Capitan rock formation on Tuesday to unfurl a massive 55-by-35-foot transgender flag without park authorization. The protest, led by drag performer and MTV’s RuPaul’s Drag Race figure Pattie Gonia, aimed to make a political statement against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies on gender identity.
An unusual sight over the weekend at Yosemite National Park drew attention as six demonstrators rappelled down El Capitan to hang an upside-down American flag.
