COLORADO SPRINGS â Dozens of protestors gathered on the steps of City Hall outside of the Colorado Springs City Council meeting Tuesday to demand accountability for council member Jill Gaebler s recent controversial tweets.
Last month, Gaebler retweeted a newsletter from Substack which expressed transgender women should be denied public accommodations and that the group is working to roll back the rights of biological women.
Twitter We don t need our government official saying hey these people don t deserve rights, said Ash Stephens, Rocky Mountain Pride Coalition. I ve lived in this city my whole life and you hear of people being transphobic and politicians doing it but you don t imagine it happening in your own city council.
