Archive of Tenacious Unicorn Ranch History

The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch was founded sometime in 2018 in rural Custer County, Colorado as a supposed “safe haven” for queers/trans/LGBT people. The TUR received some national media attention in 2021 when they decided to arm themselves in response to (baseless) claims of threats or harassment from nearby ranchers. Not a single claim or threat has been substantiated and the local sheriff’s department has debunked most of the allegations. Custer County and its county seat Westcliffe are very conservative, Christian and have notable Mennonite/Amish communities.

The TUR began to disentegrate in 2023 and was completely abandoned/dismantled by December 2023. Several ex-members have posted tweet threads about their negative, even traumatic, experiences with the ranch, its founder Penny Logue and its collapse.

The following is a list of Tweet threads and triply archived copies of each (ThreadReaderApp, Wayback Machine and Archive.ph). Most of the threads are from @EntrancingStars (aka Bonnie aka “Disable Trans Lives Matter”) and @vulpes_lux.
