Out-of-state anti-trans group stages protest at UW sorority

Three out-of-state activists placed flyers and rocks with discriminatory statements Thursday evening near a University of Wyoming sorority that made history last year by becoming the first to admit a transgender woman, police and LGBTQ advocates said.
University police responded near the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house after the three activists began placing flyers on vehicles parked along King Avenue, school spokesman Chad Baldwin told WyoFile. The three also placed rocks painted with messages on the ground and wrote in chalk on the sidewalk.
Many of the messages, Baldwin said, related to the sororitys admission of the transgender sister. Wyoming Equality, an LGTBQ advocacy group, described the messages as derogatory, hateful and intimidating.
Out-of-state extremists tried to intimidate a UW sorority today they vandalized the campus and menaced young women with hateful messages printed on stacks of rocks, Wyoming Equality Director Sara Burlingame said in a statement late Thursday. This is how you know they arent from Wyoming: They were cowardly and cruel.

Like they're always try to lie about when Democrats in their own states protest something?
Oh that's right. THEY are the outside agitators...and always were.
