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.

Classic lib——find someone else to blame.

Pity.

“I can think of something that should be cut off and it ain’t money.’

Yeah, at the very least they should be subjected to a “major shortening” prior to being allowed anywhere near a women’s locker room.

No NYT, Sanity trumped hysteric emotionalism.

If this is such a great idea NY Times, why are you not pimping for NY City to do it

Meanwhile...here in Houston, we don’t give a tinker’s dam what the New York Times editorial board thinks.

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

I suggest they send their daughters into women’s restrooms where 1/2 the people in the stalls are perverts claiming to be “gender confused.”

Unless I am greatly wrong, suicide is a personal choice based on how you view yourself, not the death-blow delivered by someone who views you differently. I have little compassion for a pervert in this matter.

Well, at least the freak would serve as a useful example:

1) Gender confusion is a mental illness, and could lead to suicide

2) If you don't conform to norms that reflect God's plan for creation, you will suffer

And it ain’t over

Wait until our Governor starts holding back Federal funds and State Funds from these sanctuary cities like he just came out with.

Oh and did I mention the AG is going to start prosecuting officials in these sanctuary cities.

This will give these slimeball rags plenty to write about

The right to say No is the basis for all other rights.

Is being completely unaware of satire and being an asshat a Cruz supporter trait?

But my reply to you was satire. Is being unaware of satire, being an asshat, and paranoia a Trump supporter trait?

It’s none your da*n business how Texas votes, you scum sucking followers of Satan. We have nothing in common with the sexual deviants that are currently in vogue. But know this: It will not always be so popular.

Villifying unrepentant, demanding perverts remains politically -- and socially -- acceptable in America ... despite the Times' incessant drumbeat to normalize them.

“But my reply to you was satire.”

No, it was not satire, it was venom.

I figured you were lying, so I looked up your posts. This is what you posted yesterday about Trump:

“And Trump declared bankruptcy 4 times screwing people out of millions. Lets put the records together and compare who screwed more people out of more money.”

You fit the profile of a Cruz supporter.

If ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Who gets to see you, or who you go with, ought to be a much lesser consideration. If it’s not—and that’s what this ordinance is about—I’m sorry, you are very f’d up.
