In Houston, Hate Trumped Fairness
The New York Times ^ | November 04, 2015 | THE EDITORIAL BOARD

Posted on 11/05/2015 1:45:12 PM PST by detective

Sometime in the near future, a transgender teenager in Texas will attempt suicide - and maybe succeed - because vilifying people for their gender identity remains politically acceptable in America.

The hateful rhetoric of leaders like Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is the latest, ugliest example. Mr. Patrick was ebullient on Tuesday night after it became clear that Houston voters had decidedly rejected a broad equal rights ordinance that opponents maliciously and misleadingly characterized as a boon for cross-dressing sex offenders.

From the article:

"history will not be kind to the haters who won on Tuesday. In time, the bigots are destined to lose."

The NYT editorial board throw a fit over the election in Houston.

In Houston, commons sense trumped liberal lunacy.

The NY Slimes editorial board is just as deluded and sick as mayor Annise is.

Dear demented freaks,

Maybe your time would be better spent addressing your own town’s skyrocketing murder rate under the marxist twit you call a mayor than inserting your perverted noses into the business of other municipalities.

Yours truly.

Goths and Emo kids are already sad.
I hope they don't off themselves over the inability to pee with me.

Consider the source. The Slimes is a hateful institution. Their editorials are almost 100% off base and out of step.

Unless you are a libtard, collectivist, Commie bastard, you can't help but disagree with their trash.

Because the many should give up their rights to normal sexuality and psychological comfort for the few mental aberrations, right? I don't want my wife or daughter having to share bathroom facilities with some man just because he claims to be a woman on the inside. Talk to me again in the future when they can do a DNA flush and Chromosome change, until then you are what your chromosomes say you are.

“In Houston, hate trumped fairness”

Orwellian double-speak. Of course, they also may have been shooting for some subliminal effects by linking “hate” with “trump”.

“.........cross-dressing sex offenders.”

One might think the NYT editorial board is rife with cross-dressing sex offenders as they spew their venom so readily.

This is what liberals do when they lose. They call the other side names.

And we know that when they do that something good just happened.

Fairness just for the sake of being fair isn’t a virtue.

Have you no shame?

Somewhere, sometime a transgendered person will contemplate suicide because of profound underlying psychopathology, and “progressives” will blame “haters” for it.

And if they go nuts and start shooting people, the “progressives” will blame the NRA.

And if they get bad diarrhea, the “progressives” will blame red meat and gluten.

And if they get _______, “progressives” will blame _______.
