New Boston Post’s Evan Lips was the only reporter on board the Free Speech Bus as it rumbled through Boston and Cambridge today (Thursday, March 30).
As of 2:46 p.m., the bus trip has wrapped up. Check back with New Boston Post later in the day for a full report. But in the meantime, here below is a flavor.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The big orange bus proclaims in big letters:
It’s Biology:
Boys are boys … and always will be.
Girls are girls … and always will be.
You can’t change sex. Respect all.
Protesters apparently disagree.
Follow along with Evan as he tweets and re-tweets what’s going on.
Some turkey cold-cuts jammed under the wipers, permanent marker graffiti, dents, keyed doors, the usual https://t.co/FUe6K0d9KY

Activists are drawing even more attention to the #FreeSpeechBus, just as the organizers intended.

Boston stands for love & acceptance. At 12:30pm, please join me as I raise the transgender flag on City Hall Plaza in a show of solidarity.

"Free speech bus" just pulled into govt center, promptly got doused with a cup of Dunk's, and now it's blocking a bike lane.

And another satisfied customer:
If you see the #FreeSpeechBus, destroy it.
