“A man is a man no matter what they call themselves,” read Schilling’s comment, which he apparently posted in response to a photo about a recent North Carolina law that restricts transgender people’s access to bathrooms and locker rooms. “I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much.

Evil hates the truth.
Curt told the truth so he must be punished.

I don’t know how or why, but this insanity MUST pay off or it would not be so widespread in corporate America.

Say anything now in opposition to homosexuals or gay marriage, you will lose your job or your business.
