Gay Campground Faces Backlash for Banning Transgender Men: ‘Only Guys’
https://www.breitbart.com ^ | 22 Feb 2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

Transgender activists are slamming a campground for gay men because it is excluding women who say they are transgender men.

Owners of Camp Boomerang RV Park and Campground, a new, private gay campground in Orleans, Michigan, made it clear that the campground is for men only, effectively banning transgender men — biological females who consider themselves males.

“Camp Boomerang is a private, membership-only rv park/campground that allows only ‘guys,'” Camp Boomerang cofounder Bryan Quinn wrote, defining “guy” as “a person with a penis” who “presents himself as male and has a state-issued ID that says ‘male.'”

“We understand this statement, unfortunately, may not make everyone happy, but feel it needs to be clarified,” Quinn continued, defending the campground’s decision, as it exists as a “private membership-only entity.”

“It is our hope that everyone who visits Camp Boomerang enjoys a comfortable, safe, non-confrontational environment going forward,” he said. “Being a ‘private membership-only’ entity allows us the ability to build a like-minded atmosphere,” Quinn said.

The statement from the new campground drew heavy backlash on social media, with transgender activists accusing the owners of acting in a blatantly “transphobic” manner by barring biological women from the private campground.

“Since I seem to have a good platform on here, wanted to bring this to attention to gays in the Michigan and Midwest area about a campground opening up here next year,” one Twitter user wrote, urging people to “not go there” as the owner “will not allow trans men in as I finally got it in written proof of the rules.”

“A PSA about the new gay camp ground [sic] in Michigan. Their terms are transphobic and disgusting,” one user wrote on Facebook.

I generally support businesses having the right to exclude certain clientele as they choose. Or more politely, cater to a targeted demographic.

But, what really angers me, try opening a RV Park that advertises “No Gays” allowed.
It’s the double standards. No White History Month, No White Entertainment Television, No White Lives Matter, No White Congressional Caucus, No National Association for the Advancement of White People......

I hear that pitchers and catchers are now reporting to training camps. There may now be too many catchers for the number of pitchers. *sniff*

Unless you’re a church who doesn’t want to hire a homo to teach kindergartners. Then being “membership-only” doesn’t matter.

We’re getting to the point where we are going to have to send the village elder in to the tent to “inspect the goods” before the wedding night again!

If a transgender woman is gay who does she go for man or woman?
Bet they don’t get much sleep.

I thought “add-ons” were a one way street? You can go in but you can’t go out.

We have reached the point where “A man is a person with a penis” is considered extremist and the word “normal” is considered hate speech. The psychos really are running the asylum.

There is two of those campgrounds near us - one is for gays, one is for lesbians.

One of my employees go to the gay one (he's bi) and said it is like a regular campground...

He said some of the regulars are straight.

In the county north of me is 7 naturist resorts and 2 gay/lesbian resorts. Big deal, at least they don’t visit the naturist resorts...
