This morning, a magistrate judge ruled that local woman Darian Balcom was guilty of harassment after erecting a 9-foot billboard in her backyard. The sign read ‘Transing is Abuse and Homophobia’ and Balcom direct the sign in to the window of a 15-year-old Black trans teen living next door with her multiracial, queer family. As to where we go from here, first thing is if you have a “Protect Trans Kids” yard sign in your yard, please keep it there. We need to remember that those very powerful yard signs and the community support gives a collective voice to all those who are voiceless. The signs read ‘Protect Trans Kids’ and requests for the signs continue to fly in to Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities which is leading this effort.
