This anti-trans rally attracted so many Nazis that the state government says they’ll ban the Nazi salute

An anti-trans rally in Melbourne, Australia over the weekend included the shocking sight of black-clad neo-Nazis goosestepping to the front of Victoria’s Parliament House and throwing the sieg-heil salute. Now the state’s government is saying they’ll ban the Nazi salute.

The Let Women Speak rally, led by notorious U.K. transphobe Posie Parker, attracted an angry mob of about 400 anti-trans protesters on Saturday to the streets in front of the state of Victoria’s seat of government, and at least 30 members of the far-right Nationalist Socialist Movement.

Parker, real name Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, is the founder of Standing for Women, a women’s rights organization primarily concerned with excluding transgender women from women’s spaces.

At least 800 counter-protesters showed up to oppose Parker and her anti-trans agenda.

I was about to say that it would be struck down 9-0 by the Supreme Court.

In another post, I complained about LGBTQ Nation's titles. I should have been more observant.
