Madrid bans Catholic group's anti-transgender bus
1 March 2017 Europe
A bright orange bus emblazoned with an anti-transgender message has been forced off the roads in Spain, after activists, trade unions, and Madrid City Council united against it.
The slogan on the bus read: "Boys have penises, girls have vulvas. Do not be fooled."
A Catholic group, Hazte Oir, had planned to take it on a nationwide tour of Spanish cities.
The group said the ban was illegal and that it planned to acquire a new bus.
One message on the side of the banned bus states: "If you are born a man, you are a man. If you are a woman, you will continue to be one."
