The Red Sox may have won the World Series last night, but trans activists stole the fifth inning.

Activists from the [email protected] Coalition unfurled a mammoth banner from the upper deck of Dodger Stadium that read “Trans people deserve to live” on a background of the trans flag.

Maria Roman and Bamby Salcedo dropped the huge banner they smuggled into the stadium as a protest of the Trump administration’s nonstop attacks on the civil rights of transgender people.

SB Nation reports that the banner stayed up for several minutes before being removed.
