The anti-LGBTQ+ crowd have been catching hell across the country for weeks now and Pennsylvania is joining in on the fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Innocent Bystander<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several Fashy\/Far-Right events have attempted to establish themselves across the state in the last week and things did not go well for them. Scott Presler cancelled in the Philadelphia suburb of Media; TERFs (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists) were successfully countered in Pittsburgh; and a puny Right-Wing rally cloaked as a “gun rights” event at the State Capitol imploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional concern troll Scott Presler<\/a>, former lead strategist for the Islamophobic ACT for America, and credibly accused of urban “clean-up” stunts involving improperly removing houseless people’s personal property, was due to be with Media Borough Republicans at the local VFW and Delaware County GOP headquarters for “voter training” and “door-knocking” on Sept. 9th and 10th.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a federal action to serve up to 50 search warrants or subpoenas or both to people of interest regarding the January 6th, 2021 insurrection effort was disclosed just before his weekend events. Presler quickly cancelled. The local GOP cited “complications” regarding his “health.” However, late last year, Presler communication information has been in sought in other House Select Committee subpoena targets. Perhaps he felt the need to be around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, Pittsburgh and the community response to a TERF event that came to City Hall on September 11th resulted in a route.\u00a0 PGH Fashwatch succinctly explains what happened here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reportback from yesterday! And some analysis. The counterprotest yesterday (which was awesome) was a great example of why we can't rely on the government to protect trans people.

Gainey can make whatever declarations he wants but the City's actions are louder than its words. 1\/ pic.twitter.com\/dXTQbIlTq7<\/a><\/p>— pghfashwatch (@pghfashwatch) September 10, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
