In Houston, Hate Trumped Fairness

The New York Times ^ | November 04, 2015 | THE EDITORIAL BOARD

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.

remember that anything a leftwing lunatic disagrees with is hate.

[JusPasenThru]

And one more thing: just STFU. Please.

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 they are sad, deeply disturbed individuals whose mental illness must be portrayed as normal and wonderful.

They are digging their own grave and don’t know it.. Just let them jeep on.

Her Heinous would have said differently in the wake of a hypothetical win, I bet.

TWISTING the whole notion of civil rights was subjected to a vote... and it failed.

[Junk Silver]

I would welcome an honest discussion about suicide among the trans-gendered. This would entail acknowledging the high suicide rate of those who have undergone gender reassignment surgery and would underscore the indisputable fact that transgenderism is a mental illness.

I’m not holding my breath for such a discussion to appear in the NY Times.

[Duckdog]

Just....No

“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.”

Well if that trannie doesn’t succeed, it will be just one more thing he failed at.

[HiTech RedNeck]

They won’t just dig it for themselves off to the side, is one problem. They want to pull the rest of us into it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What’s more... I betcha... places that are more lenient towards this would see MORE... not LESS... per capita suicide.

Guess i’m a “Hater”.....

Big surprise, I’ve been a Hater” for the past 15 years according to these idiots.

[Vigilanteman]

The one question I can never get these “fairness” advocates to answer is “What is fair about forcing ladies to share their shower and toilet facilities with a mentally ill man who thinks he is a woman and even still has a dick to prove it?”

[WayneS]

I wonder if the mayor can explain what “civil rights” has to do with demanding that people with penises be allowed to swing them around in women’s restrooms.

[elcid1970]

Faggies lose one.

[DJ MacWoW]

Mental illness is never pretty.

[Starstruck]

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

Is paranoia a Trump supporter trait?

[mowowie]

I see no harm in having transgendered males using the girls bathroom.
I mean realllllllly, what possibly could go wrong?

Man do i HATE liberals, they are really insane.

[dayglored]

> I hope they don't off themselves over the inability to pee with me.

As far as I know, HG, you're a straight guy. So you pee in the guy's room like normal guys.

There just aren't many women who want to dress like a man and stand at a urinal. Some, yeah, but not many.

Mostly this is about guys who dress like women who want to cross the bathroom line and squat with the girls.

So I think you're pretty safe.
