During last night's final game of the World Series, transgender activists somehow snuck a huge banner that read "Trans people deserve to live" into Dodger Stadium and unfurled the massive message during the game.
According to CBS News, the moment was planned by members of the TransLatin@ Coalition, a Los Angeles-based activist organization that advocates for the rights of transgender Latinx people.
It won't surprise you to learn that Fox Sports didn't show the sign or its removal on the air.
By the way, the Boston Red Sox clinched the Series by winning the game 5-1. This marks the 4th Series title in 14 years for the Red Sox.

A Facebook video of two activists unfurling the banner was uploaded by The TransLatina Coalition. According to The Los Angeles Blade, the two activists in the video were identified as Bamby Salcedo and Maria Roman.
"Our message tonight was to let the world know that we as Trans people deserved to be humanized, acknowledged and valued," said Salcedo, according to the Blade.
