After getting taken off the road in the Spanish cities of Madrid and Barcelona, due to a violation of the equality laws, the creators of the transphobic bus have brought it to the U.S.
A group called CitizenGo, headquartered in Spain, worked with the notoriously anti-LGBT groups National Organization for Marriage and International Organization for the Family, which are based in Washington D.C., to bring an English version of the bus to New York City.
“It’s biology, not bigotry”, bus organizers said in a press release. “Men and women were created equally, each given a gender that is fixed, immutable and complementary. Rather than perpetuate a lie that gender can be changed based on emotions and feelings, we should encourage people to embrace and love who they were made to be”, they added.
After its scheduled stops in New York City, the bus will travel to New Haven, Connecticut, and park at Yale University. Then it will continue on to Boston, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.
Several organizations that advocate for LGBT rights in New York City have banded together to speak out against the bus, saying that the message is discriminatory and encourages violence against transgender individuals.
It is not a freedom speech issue it is a clear example of hate speech! Stop transphobia!
There were big protests in Madrid against transphobic bus
and finally it was immobilized by the city police
In Barcelona the bus was stopped by justice order
and all external messages had to be removed
