Right-wing psychos attack Maryland gender identity law with hateful vigor....
Just when you think they can't sink any lower..... :argh:



from the group that calls itself Citizens for Responsible Govt.:


HELP US OVERTURN BILL 23-07


Leggett Signs Gender Identity Bill


By the stroke of a very powerful pen, County Executive Leggett has broken the biological barriers that separate male and female facilities. No longer will women and girls be able to feel completely safe in the most private and personal bathroom and locker facilities of schools, public pools, malls, stores, health clubs, restaurants and other such public places throughout the county. County Executive Ike Leggett signed Bill 23-07, the outrageous legislation that may result in forcing even religious schools to hire transgender teachers; and then also allow cross-dressing but biological males in your daughter’s school locker room. Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government has filed a referendum to prevent the implementation of Bill 23-07. We are calling on every concerned Montgomery County citizen to join us in this huge undertaking.

1. ...And before you know it, this could lead to Christians and non-Christians
being nice to each other. Gawd forbid, we can't have that.:sarcasm:

2. Assorted Nuts

I see that Concerned Women for America and Family Research Council support this nonsense. Reason enough right there to be in favor of the bill.

Frankly, I don't give a hoot if a transgendered male wants to use the toilet or the shower next to mine. I'm sure he's really not interested in my sagging 45 yr old tushie. As for the children, (Think of the Children), don't republicans sort of have a lock on bad bathroom behavior? I'd rather the transgendered wait-person living down my street be in the locker room than say Larry Craig or one of those vapid creatures from Concerned Women for America because it's obvious that privacy means nothing to them.

3. Is there actually any color of law in the men's room / women's room divide?
I mean, it's not a law that keeps men out of the ladies' room, it's social pressure, right?
