Gettysburg College Officials Organize ‘Solidarity’ Protest Ahead of Talk Critical of Transgenderism
“We will be making signs for solidarity, identity flag buttons and pronoun buttons, while having a discussion about the importance of solidarity for LGBTQ+ folks”
So the administration here was basically putting their thumb on the scale? How else can this be interpreted?
The College Fix reports:
College officials organize ‘solidarity’ protest before speech critical of transgenderism
Gettysburg College, a private liberal arts college in Philadelphia, scheduled an “LGBTQ Signs of Solidarity” event to take place just hours before a scheduled appearance by Ryan Anderson on October 18.
Anderson is president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of several books, including “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment” a critique of transgender ideology. He is a Young America’s Foundation speaker.
“We will be making signs for solidarity, identity flag buttons and pronoun buttons, while having a discussion about the importance of solidarity for LGBTQ+ folks,” according to the official Gettysburg event website. YAF first reported the protest, organized by the campus Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, on October 3.
“We originally had Dr. Anderson on the calendar to speak on September 25. Days after we booked the lecture, we saw this sign-making event appear on the calendar. When we moved the lecture to October 18 due to a scheduling conflict, the college moved their event, too,” John Riccardi, chairman of the campus Young Americans for Freedom, said in a statement on the national organization’s website.
Anderson’s lecture at Gettysburg “will be on the topic of confronting transgender ideology,” YAF reported.
The lecture “has faced fierce opposition for more than six months,” YAF reported. “Last spring, YAF exposed footage from a Gettysburg Student Government Association meeting, in which student leaders voted against providing any funding for the event.”

Comments
“Solidarity” is the Democrat Transmogrifier Box for making NPCs.
All their congresspeople have been through it at least three times.
Suggested Exercise: Ask the “solidarity” single folks at Gettysburg College, “If a transwoman or transman asked you out for a date, would you accept? If you declined, why or why not?” Ask this question, then standby for ensuing hilarity.
But you can be critical of “whiteness” all day. With college support.
They apparently never heard of Oberlin. Are they using university resources for this? Tut-tut.
Sad how college campii have become Enemy Territory.
