With most gays who become victims of crimes of violence being attacked by other gays, this little piece of legislation could really back fire on them.

Or should we maybe say "fire up their butts"!

Maybe somebody should print this out for him to read.

I don't care what laws are written: If you're a dude in a dress, you're going to get laughed at by me, and a punch in the face if you try to follow my daughter into the women's restroom. Just because /you/ have a gender problem doesn't mean the rest of us have to deal with it.

I do not approve of any legislation that gives someone special benefits or protections because of lifestyle choices, and I'm sure I'll get flamed here again for it, but that includes religious preference. I don't care what religion you subscribe to, it is easy to change that by advocated choice. Oooh, look, I'm gay. Nope, I'm straight now. Now I'm a trans-gender Catholic, nope, now I'm a straight agnostic.

The idiots who keep passing these laws need to look at the constitution, and the explicit protection in there for the freedom of speech, and the gross limitations of federal powers. Because there's no way to justify this as being a constitutional ideal without wiggling out some invisible text that's not part of the constitution, nor ever intended to be part of the constitution.

If you go back and ask the founding fathers if it's ok to laugh at a guy in a dress, they'd certainly agree.

I’m sorry, did I miss something here? Was the guard who was shot gay?

[GSWarrior]

It should not be a crime to hate.

[a fool in paradise]

Was the guard homosexual? I hadn’t heard that.

[rintense]

All murders are crimes of hate. Period.

So a fan of Ernst Rohm tries to kill Jews and the Sodomites now get a tool to persecute religious Jews.
