It could be that gay right bigots wanted something else to throw in the face of the non gays.

There are generally two or more sides to a story.

People who desire to express themselves different than there bio gender is nothing new and has occurred in all cultures throughout history.

This rapid- onset gender dysphoria thing however, seems contagious. The attention, peer support, prestige, need for emotional support and identity leveraged by those who come out as trans appears to be a part of it.

Again, I don’t understand it.

From what Jenner and his family have said, he'd been a cross-dresser for a long time. And I think he still is.

Irony is they are putting pressure on Caster Semenya to take drugs to make herself weaker whose best 800 meter time is 1:54.25. That time would not even get you into the men's olympics

Or in a class c in a state high school 800m meet..

would ban LGBT discrimination at work and in a wide range of other situations, sending the measure to the Senate where it faces an uncertain fate.

my takeaway; think real hard before hiring someone who is LGBT, as some may use/abuse this newfound right to sue you.

Basically gays need to stay in the closet, right? The fact that gay people even exist is oppression to Christians, right?

This is already the law in many States, but not on the Federal level.

Why can't we have no protected classes and let everyone freely associate with whomever they choose?


Most large corporations have anti-discrimination hiring practices and with the speed of social media, any small companies that discriminate would be publicly shamed or run out of business. I 100% support this guy's right to run a business any way he sees fit- https://gawker.com/oklahoma-restaura...-or-1518446794 I wouldn't eat there and after this became public knowledge, no one did.


Edit:

And City Data's overly sensitive filter broke my link. I don't like that but they can run their site the way they want to.

We tried that already and it didn't work.

Nurses, regardless of bio or other gender, are required to wear uniforms, genderless scrubs. Extreme hair, nails and makeup are not permitted.

This legislation is not about dress codes.

But that would be discrimination. They need to change the nursing uniform to accommodate.

See they fired me because I'm a drag queen.

let the lawsuits begin if this passes.

The gay community used to have my support.

Now that they have become the LGBT radicalized hate machine, I really don’t give a crap about what “hardships” they face.

I wonder how many other supporters they have turned off with their behavior?

Sorry--I do not know what you are referring to. Can you please be more specific?

Pence attempted to pass laws that basically legalized discrimination against gays. The Bible is not the backbone of US law--the Constitution is.
