The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch / @TenaciousRanch / Steampunk Penny / Penellope Logue / Phillip Matthew Logue - Don't cry because it ended, laugh because it's still getting worse.

[Gone Ham]

Some local conservatives say the ranchers are exaggerating their claims of persecution in order to bring in large amounts of cash through online fundraising. The ranch's latest effort on the website GoFundMe currently stands at more than $115,000. Penny Logue calls this criticism a straw man argument. Logue says they've tried to form bonds with their neighbors through recycling efforts, doing handiwork, starting a community garden in Westcliffe. She says it's just there's a small group of locals who make their lives difficult.

I love how when reading this part, Boyce struggles to say “she” because even he knows they’re bullshit

The local law had a few things to say about the lack of reports and all.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:

To Colorado now and a story about neighbors and fences. The owners of the Tenacious Unicorn sheep and alpaca ranch say they have had to build a high fence around their property because of harassment. They are trans, and they say their conservative neighbors won't accept them. Colorado Public Radio's Dan Boyce reports.

(SOUNDBITE OF ENGINE TURNING)

DAN BOYCE, BYLINE: Eight-foot-tall wooden fence posts - 2 feet in the ground, 6 above.

BONNIE NELSON: So right now, we have around 360 posts.

BOYCE: Tenacious Unicorn Ranch co-owner Bonnie Nelson expects they'll probably need another couple hundred to erect the tall wire fence completely around their 40 acres of dry pastureland.

(SOUNDBITE OF JACKHAMMER RUNNING)

BOYCE: Nelson and co-owner Penny Logue are both wearing black ball caps and layers of worn work clothes. It's a cold morning. And as always, they have semiautomatic pistols strapped to their thighs. Mess with us, Nelson says, and we'll mess back.

NELSON: All we want is to be left alone.

PENNY LOGUE: We're a group of trans women trying to create a haven for trans people.

BOYCE: Penny Logue says they're building a commune where LGBTQ people can feel safe and welcome and isolated from discrimination they say they face in traditional cisgender society.

SHANNON BYERLY: I mean, I feel saddened that anyone - I don't care race, color, creed, religion, lifestyle, I don't care - would live in Custer County and feel that they were in jeopardy.

BOYCE: That's Custer County Sheriff Shannon Byerly. He says the ranchers haven't really been all that hospitable since moving in last year. He says most residents didn't even know they were here initially.

BYERLY: And then all a sudden this newspaper article comes out and they - well, I don't want to put words in their mouths, but, you know, they just were pretty disparaging about the citizens in general in Custer County.

BOYCE: In numerous press accounts, Logue details severe online threats, multiple instances of local harassment and even armed trespassing on the property itself. Sheriff Byerly says his office was never contacted about these incidents. He says the security fortifications the ranchers are installing do not indicate they want to be part of the community.

BYERLY: I don't think they did themselves any favors by taking that approach.

BOYCE: Some local conservatives say the ranchers are exaggerating their claims of persecution in order to bring in large amounts of cash through online fundraising. The ranch's latest effort on the website GoFundMe currently stands at more than $115,000. Penny Logue calls this criticism a straw man argument. Logue says they've tried to form bonds with their neighbors through recycling efforts, doing handiwork, starting a community garden in Westcliffe. She says it's just there's a small group of locals who make their lives difficult.

LOGUE: This county is stuffed full of downright amazing people, and that has nothing to do with politics. We have a lot of friends that are conservative, but we don't have any friends that are Nazis.

BOYCE: The new fence will add security to the ranch on top of recently installed surveillance cameras.

LOGUE: I think that we can, when we choose to engage, be out in the community engaging. And when we shut our gates - because this world is a little bit much sometimes.

BOYCE: When that happens, she says, they should get to leave the outside world behind just like anyone else.

For NPR News, I'm Dan Boyce in Westcliffe, Colo.

This is fucking insane.

It’s confirmed lads. It’s Gash Coyote

 

[gaystoner]

These people are such victims lmfao

"Queer liberation"

Wtf does that even mean? You bought a home. You are Free. Quit pretending you're oppressed because people disagree with you and you have no evidence you've been attacked except your own delusions.

She looks like a tranny already. One can only hope they do to her what they do to other coyotes on the ranch and put her down.

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.

lol fat


Just the trailer alone has me laughing my ass off already. The sad emotionally manipulative music, the run down tranch in the background, the fact that we're supposed to take Penny (who looks worse and his face more masculine and wrinkled than usual) seriously as a woman. It's all too much.

Also, at the end, he literally says "We're here to protect trans lives! I AM willing to die for the Ranch"

Alright, have fun with that.

This is front page material. I'm excited already thinking about all the stupid shit that documentary is going to reveal because the tranchers think it makes them look good. On a side note, look at the ads the documentary trailer has plastered all over it:

YouTube obviously knows the audience for such a documentary.

Everything on that farm, from the sturdy looking, competently assembled wooden barn and fencing, to the healthy lively looking goats stand out in such stark contrast to where the tranchers came from. I love it, it really puts the spotlight on how awful they are by comparison to literally any other half competent farm or ranch.

The documentary has a twitter now

[Semiprofessional Sperg]

We all know this shit is going to be propaganda and Potemkin villages

They'll treat the animals kindly for one day to dispel the DAMN DIRTY COMPLAINERS, and they'll talk about how they're under attack while refusing to provide evidence.

Same shit, different day. Although, here's hoping they fuck up big style and do something like trying to fake an Earl attack.

 

[farttpott]

How convenient the far-right assault happened while the film was being made. Gives it a narrative arc and everything.

Is it going to be in imax for bonnie's ass lmao

Alright, have fun with that.

That gut slant on Paul's carrier. My sides. And, his hamhock arms. I gotta say that I'm getting impressed with Phil's larp game. He's got an expensive meme pistol that takes rounds going for about $1.50 a pop right now. He has a plate carrier that doesn't look like it was ordered from Alibaba. It looks cheap, but it at least isn't made using some Chinese knockoff camo pattern.

The pièce de résistance though is his new pair of earpro, Liberator IIs. Those are $800 active muffs with comm integration. He didn't even rubberband the push to talk lead. It's just flopping around. They don't even run comms, but I do want to see them buy a bunch of $50 Baofengs and fuck up getting the right ptt units and adapters and shit. They aren't Liberator IIIs or IVs, but it's a nice flex. I bet he didn't get the gel cups. They are 100% worth it.

They're running armor made in a dude's garage and buying comtacs when they don't even run radios. I fucking love it.
