I would leave it at this... If you still have a penis, then you must use the male bathroom, when you have gender reassignment surgery and lose it, them you can use the female bathroom...

- If you're a man, go to the male bathroom and shut up about it. We're not gonna change public bathroom laws for you. That's just ridiculous. Why do we have to make a whole room of women uncomfortable to accommodate the lifestyle of one transgender man? You can pretend to be woman all day, but you gotta use the men's bathroom. That's not too much to ask.

- LGBTism should not be promoted in the media or taught to children in schools. Gays are prosthelytizing in the schools. That's just wrong.

Why can't they just be gay, and leave it at that?
You seem confused about the difference between a Transexual and a Gay man or Lesbian. If being Gay or Lesbian was a "choice" why would any person choose to be "tolerated" as opposed to just accepted?
None of it is an easy life - many States still have laws on the books allowing discrimination for housing and even jobs if you are Gay or Lesbian.

The concept is very simple -- Equal Rights for all People. Not special Rights, just Equal Rights.

I don't think any of this wave of "ridiculous" activism have much to do with normal gays and lesbians - it's the Activists that need to validate their JOB of Activism. As Gays/Lesbians have become more accepted and mainstream - the Radical Activists need new targets and causes. Transgenders were handy. Attacking Bakeries, Florists and others (Hate Chicken) have done more harm to the Gay/Lesbian community as a whole than any help at all. This will only stop when Normal Gays/Lesbians step up like Martina Navratilova did.

There is a move to remove Transgendered from the "Gay" movement since it really is a totally separate issue.

It should be.

As a man who was born a total lesbian, I think the trans stuff has gone too far. However, you cannot judge me because I'm a man who was born totally lesbian. I love ALL women! Fat women, skinny, short, tall, big, small, apple, pear, Amish, Mennonite, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, lesbian, straight, pimply, clear skinned, pale, olive, tan, black, yellow, red, natural, trimmed, blonde, brunet, auburn, red, grey, black, even all the ones depicted on Star Trek and all those other movies... ALL of them! ...except maybe that one on Alien, you know, that female monster that Sigourney Weaver (fricken hotty!) fought? I didn't like HER, that monster, so I guess I'm not a total TOTAL lesbian born in a man's body. I'm more of a mostly total lesbian born in a man's body.

Oh crap... my wife is reading over my shoulder. Did I mention that of all the women I love, I love HER most? Dammit! See the trouble this LGBTQRSTLMNOP thing is getting me into! THAT is my only real concern about it. That and men competing against women in women's only sports or going into women's locker rooms and bath rooms. Other than that...

Yes dear... I really DO love you the most, now will you please quit reading over my shoulder?


I hope everyone took this post for the humor it was meant to be.

What troubles me about them is that they demand too much visibility in the democratic party. That much visibility scares away moderates.

As others have said, the OP seems confused about gay people and trans people.

Your first post is exactly why it is being talked about in school. Being gay is not a 'preference' it is the way someone is born.

Do you really want a trans person walking into the bathroom of the gender they were born with? You'll have someone walking into women's the bathroom, beard and all getting screamed at.

You might want to brush up on basic anatomy

Women are not men without penises

The LGBT community and agenda are irrelevant to me as they represent maybe 1% - 3% maximum of the entire population. Yet, the Media, Hollywood, and Dems have made them a cause celeb. I say live and let live, but don't try to raise them above everyone as some sort of social statement.

No shortage of gay people agree.
