Patricia Silva's Planet Fitness membership in Fairbanks got cancelled. Her crime ?
Reporting on a male who was shaving in the female locker room. She took a photo of him in the locker room and made a video in the parking lot that went viral.
In light of the incident catapulting into social media, Planet Fitness stock dove, members cancelled their membership in droves and once again, we're at a cultural moment where people still believe the Emperor has clothes on.
I'm honored to have this conversation with Patricia on I'm Glad You Said That today because we cannot remain silent and we shall not live by lies. As importantly, as Patricia brings up in our chat, people who identify in this manner are made in the image of God. They need truth and they need love and counseling.
It's a frightening reality we live in today but also an opportunity to draw people to the foot of the cross. It's always been that way. Balancing truth with grace.
