The Silverton, Oregon, city council has censured its transgender mayor.

Mayor Stu Rasmussen admitted to wearing an open-back bathing suit, mini skirt, and high heels when he spoke before a group of children at a non-profit organization. A person attending the speech was displeased and filed a complaint.

Andrea Lafferty is with the Traditional Values Coalition. "This is a man who's dressing like a woman. He was born a man. He has male DNA. That cannot change," she believes.

Lafferty says the idea of making the appearance in front of children is an affront to parents who do not want their children exposed to deviant lifestyles. She encourages people to challenge the mayor's behavior.

Andrea Lafferty (Traditional Values Coalition) "People shouldn't be intimidated. I think it's great that people are objecting. I think it's great that they pushed the city council to vote, even if it was just to say that the man was dressed inappropriately," she notes. "He needs to behave, particularly around children. He should be kept away from kids."

She "believes"?! So now genetics is just a matter of personal opinion?

What's the big deal??

The lovely Mayor Rasmussen from his website.

> So when it exposes itself to their kids? They want to blame who?

I’d be willing to guess that she probably won’t expose herself to kids. There would be a greater risk of that sort of thing happening if she hadn’t gotten herself “sorted”.

I don’t agree with the censuring. People should be able to wear whatever they want. This is a slippery slope to telling people what they can and cannot wear.

I agree his appearance would probably be offensive to me and I wouldn’t want my children around it, but it is my responsibility to keep myself or my children away from such scenes ... or not.

This event was not mandatory for children to attend. Parents who are upset should address their concerns to the non-profit organization who invited the mayor to speak in front of children.

Boycotting is a better statement of disaproval.

PING

[Obadiah]

this is how you can tell you live in a liberal city...not that the pervert shows up that way; nobody throws him out...

Throw him out?? They elected him MAYOR!

[Sloth]

GOOD GRAVY. This is one for the Nuremberg Trials.

[armymarinemom]

This wore an open back swimsuit, mimi skirt, and heels to speak to kids? Parents should sue for trauma counseling.

[Larry Lucido]

Maybe it is time for the good people to start thinking of whips, stocks, pillories, tar, feathers and a rail.

I think you've just described this guy's Christmas wish-list.

“A person attending the speech was displeased and filed a complaint.”

I would have broken his legs.

[Lorianne]

This behavior would have been bad even for a real woman of the same age for crying out loud.

Exactly. I see worse atrocities everydat out in public by people who are NOT transgenedered, they just had their sense of propriety surgically removed.

[DogBarkTree]

Hey Stu, anyone ever tell you that your beautiful when your mad? I didnt think so.

[vpintheak]

YOU KNOW THOSE KIDS COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG LOOKING AT THE HE/SHE. IT’S NATURAL AND NORMAL TO BE APPALLED BY DEVIANT BEHAVIOR. THOSE WHO SHOULD FEEL BAD ARE THE DEVIANTS, NOT THE NORMAL PEOPLE.

If Rachel Maddow can wear khakis and a flannel and still be recognized as female surely this fella throw some dockers over the fishnets before he goes to meet the kids.

omg...........that is nasty

[jessduntno]

Throw him out?? They elected him MAYOR! Yep, but when elected he wasn't wearing a peekaboo bathing suit and a mini-skirt to a grade school...sh*t, Bawney Fwank has been re-elected deviant of the year in MA for 40 years...even HE hasn't gone this far...If I were in attendance, this ahole would have left the room on the end of the Bostonian Express...you know, THROWN OUT? On his s/he ass?

He’s not transgendered . . . He had himself mutilated . . . Every one of every gene in his body is still that of when he was born . . . “transgendered” just can’t be done. Self-mutilation, yes! He needs severe psychological help and prayers, but our society is telling him/her/it that it’s ok . . . we’re nutz . . . he/she/it’s not.

[Lorianne]

If you’re dressing like that, the object is to get attention ... whether you’re transgendered or not.

For attention seekers, getting all this attention is will only encourage them to be more outrageous.

Speaking before a group of children? Very sick. What is one to suppose is his motivation?
