Transgender teen booted from Ted Cruz rally as campaign of transphobia ramps up
“As a member of the LGBT community, and considering that Ted Cruz is extremely homophobic and transphobic, I came here to represent the LGBT youth that are hurt by his propaganda and rhetoric,” 16-year-old Maryland teen James Van Kuilenburg told the Fredrick News-Post on Thursday.
Kuilenburg, a transgender boy, said he and his mother were kicked out of the Republican presidential candidate’s campaign event in their town simply because James is transgender.
