Fired Yosemite worker sues National Park Service after hanging massive transgender flag across El Capitan

A former Yosemite National Park employee filed a lawsuit against the National Park Service (NPS) after being fired for hanging a transgender pride flag across the park’s El Capitan rock formation in California last year.

Shannon "SJ" Joslin, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, reported being fired in August after hanging the massive 55-foot by 35-foot flag across Yosemite’s iconic rock destination. At the time, Joslin insisted that the flag was hung after work hours and had nothing to do with the position.
