(Ma.) Gov. Charlie Baker heckled off stage at LGBT event

Gov. Charlie Baker was heckled and booed off the stage last night mid-speech when he showed lackluster support for legislation aimed at protecting the rights of transgendered people after protesters pleaded “Sign the bill!”

Baker spoke for about 18 minutes as 30 demonstrators stood silently in the front row holding signs that read “Public Spaces = Our Spaces. Trans Rights Now!” until he finally addressed the issue.

“We should not discriminate against anyone in the commonwealth of Mass.,” Baker said.

“If and when (the bill) lands on my desk, I’ll talk to all parties involved,” he started to say before a chant of “Sign the bill” broke out.

Baker tried to rally by returning to the opioid epidemic and urging those in the crowd to “continue to have those conversations,” about the public access bill, but he was shouted at and booed.

He then walked off the stage and left the ballroom at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

The governor had been invited to address the gathering at the Boston Spirit Magazine’s LGBT Executive Networking Night.

The long-stalled bill extending anti-discrimination rights to transgender persons in public areas like restrooms could be debated in the Senate as early as May, Senate President Stanley C. Rosenberg said yesterday.

Rosenberg supports the transgender anti-discrimination bill, as does House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo.

Amid silence from Baker, Attorney General Maura Healey has pushed the bill — as have 43 companies and business groups, including Apple, Biogen, EMC, Facebook, Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, John Hancock, J.P. Licks, Microsoft, National Grid, Partners Healthcare, Suffolk Construction, Uber and others who signed a letter in support.

All fascist movements were founded by homosexuals (Hari/Lively).

When Reason and Logic (Science) is removed and base urges (immaturity) control Reason-—you get fascism. Only Natural Law Theory created concepts of Individual Natural Rights from God (the ONLY Rights come from God) where we can never use others as a commodity—a Means to an End.

You can’t even GIVE your Natural Rights from God away——as these fascists are trying to force Christians to do-—worship Satan and force little children to embed their warped, evil ideology (irrationality).

The homosexual movements was an 1800 German movement to normalize the irrational and collapse Western Civilization (Christianity) to reinstate slavery/serfdom and the NWO where the super elites can do whatever to any person, even children and they can declare it “Good”.

Our “Justice” System is being flipped to a Satanic (Vice) System. Vice creates Slaves. It is fascism (irrational/FORCE) and arbritrary and denies Reason, Free Will (choice in the Sane to create insanity in children), and complete removal of coherence and understanding from the minds of the children-—to confuse and create chaos (remove Reason) of Science and Good and Evil (Natural Law)..

I remember my hair freezing in the parking lot of the Quincy Y after swimming at the pool on a Saturday night. Back when I had hair.

Used to see people sitting in their cars for 15 mins just waiting to get a parking spot near the back door entrance.
Not because they were lazy as they were going ton work out , but because that wind was awful

The Left doesn’t like it when you put limits on its power.

To me a person has the natural right to gender privacy. Allowing someone of the opposite biological gender into the restroom with them is a violation of that right.

Gov. Baker did not understand that tolerance is a one way street with these people.
