California signature gatherer caught lying to trick people into discriminating against trans children
Groups who want a legal right to discriminate against transgender children seem to be pulling out all the stops. An ex-gay group, the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), recently went on an ugly smear campaign targeting a Colorado trans kid in what seems to be a ham-handed effort to manufacture talking points for their California battle against trans children. While the campaign was proven to be a hoax, it nonetheless resulted in the conservative community calling for the beating death of the innocent trans kid. Now, another anti-trans group has been caught lying to the public in an effort to trick people into supporting the effort to legally discriminate against trans children: The recording was made in front of a Walmart in southern California. What follows is the transcript between the dishonest anti-trans activist and his mark. TRANSCRIPT: Signature Gatherer: Ma’am, would you sign the petition to say no to same-sex
