Jordan Henry is using his words. Jordan Henry's comment on his own post above falsely claims that "it was the shop owner's brother." It was not.


Jordan Henry does use his words. Here he is with a bullhorn on June 6th. Standing near him is a man carrying the anti-LGBTQ sign. This "umbrella" sign has been seen at the protests across Southern California.

The "Anti-Groomer Movement" appears to have origins in white supremacist organizing, and is documented as a tactic by known extremist groups as early as December 2022.


According to Conejo Valley Antifascists, the "White Lives Matter [WLM] activist manual 2.0, and the January 2023 Project 171 Anti Groomer Action manual show identical format, organization, and in many cases, cut and pasted text from one to the other."








Here is Jordan Henry [with flag and bullhorn in the video below] using his words on June 6, 2023, asking people to "tear this school down" during a GUSD Board meeting where the board was voting to recognize June as Pride Month in GUSD.
