Yosemite National Park fired a park ranger last week for hanging a transgender pride flag on the park’s iconic El Capitan rock formation in May.
Shannon “SJ” Joslin, who has been a ranger and a wildlife biologist in the park since 2021, said they were fired Aug. 12 from what they described as their dream job. They said park leadership told them they “failed to demonstrate acceptable conduct” in their role by participating in the trans flag display.
“I’m devastated,” said Joslin, who is trans and uses they/them pronouns. “We don’t take our positions in the park service to make money or to have any kind of huge career gains. We take it because we love the places that we work. I have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, and I could be making a lot more money in Silicon Valley, which is only a few hours away, but I made career choices to position myself in Yosemite National Park, because this is the place that I love the most.”
When asked for comment on Joslin’s termination, a spokesperson for Yosemite National Park said the National Park Service, which oversees Yosemite, “is pursuing administrative action against multiple National Park Service employees for failing to follow National Park Service regulations.” The spokesperson declined to say which regulations the employees allegedly violated.
Rachel Pawlitz, a spokesperson for the NPS, said the agency and the Justice Department “are pursuing administrative action against several Yosemite National Park employees and possible criminal charges against several park visitors who are alleged to have violated federal laws and regulations related to demonstrations.”

“I have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, and I could be making a lot more money in Silicon Valley”.
I doubt that very much.
You used poor judgement to push your agenda and thought you would continue to get away with it. Welcome to the real world pal or whatever you call yourself...
Good.
Make your political statements on your own property and time.
Perhaps El Capitan whispered to them and said it wanted to be La Capitan or Ustedes Capitan.
The Forest Service is like Broke Back Mountain, for the ladies. I know several.
Almost kind of like Defacing a National Monument?
The real question is: Is it Tuck or Roll?
Note the trans dude was hired in 2021 when Biden came in and started hiring the crazies for Fed slots. Trump admin is flushing them out as soon as they display the crazy crap on the job
Fire all the government child-molesting faggots.
The Park Service isn’t hiring the best.

Anti-Christian media perpetuating the delulu.
At 23 doubtful
If they’re actual chomos, they should be fired then prosecuted.
Aw man that’s too bad. Anyway, lunchtime.
Having served as a contractor to the NPS for 8 years, many of the park rangers are social misfits. It’s a huge draw for the mousey leftist nerds and lesbians who want to hide behind trees. The interpretive officers, however, are usually genuine.
If it had been a “Don’t Tread On Me” flag her co-workers would have pushed her off “El Capitan”
I didn't know NBC has a division strictly for gays, but I'm not surprised.
He should be glad he wasn’t duct-taped to chair and tipped over the cliff.
Said “they” were fired? How about HE was fired, or SHE, depending on which it is.
