Ousted park biologist's suit over trans flag display is rejected

What began as an act of solidarity ultimately took a bitter turn for a National Park Service biologist.

- By JASMINE MENDEZ

After helping display a pink, white and blue transgender flag at El Capitan in May 2025, Shannon Joslin, who uses “they/them” pronouns, found themselves at the center of controversy, claiming they were wrongfully terminated for their involvement and that their free speech rights had been violated.

In February 2026, Joslin filed a lawsuit against several government agencies and officials, alleging unlawful and retaliatory action in response to peaceful off-duty expression. They sought reinstatement to their job, a ruling that the government acted illegally, protection from criminal charges, and financial damages.

On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the case, ruling the court has no authority to force the park service to reinstate Joslin’s position.
