I guess the author missed Proposition 8, when the people of California voted in favor of traditional marriage. GayWheels? Are you pulling my leg?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yes, be very worried and stay in Commiefornia

Regards,

Texans

[JRandomFreeper]

There's plenty of queers in Plano. They should feel right at home.

Moving To Texas

Where you sleep out every night, and the only law is right, back in the saddle again.

[kearnyirish2]

You have to admit, it is a novel approach to try to prevent the escape of a large employer...

Hopefully the deviants will find work in CA instead of moving to TX.

[petitfour]

Texas should be worried about a company moving a ton of LBGTQs or whatever they call themselves to Texas. That is creepy.

[montag813]

It'll serve as a devastating blow to Torrance, Calif., who was apparently blindsided by the news.

What can you expect from an author who doesn't get pronouns?

[shelterguy]

“””so a door could open to removing legislation that bars gay Texans from equal rights.”””

Tell me more about this fictitious legislation.

Yes, be very worried and stay in Commiefornia

I'm sure a lot of Coloradans would like to send their ex-Californians back. I bet Subaru would welcome them...

[Responsibility2nd]

I would suggest all queer Toyota employees move to Mesquite. Or east Dallas.

Be sure your life insurance premiums are paid up.

[inpajamas]

No, they should not be afraid, but I sure hope that they are. - Tex

If a lot of LBGT move to Plano, Plano won’t be Plano, Plano will have to change it’s name to Fabulous, Tx.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Let them truly “diversify” and move to S. Dallas, Lancaster, Desoto, et al.

I mean, they can get cheap housing etc. and they can just shoot up to Plano for work.

Notice how libs NEVER “diversify” themselves? Actions speak louder than words

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or near Redbird.

[AppyPappy]

Toyota hires a lot of freaks and perverts?

I’d say if you’re so LGBT it can be spotted from low orbit then you have other problems. Work is a place to work. You’re supposed to fit in and work as a team. That means you’re there for work, not for politics or proselytizing or picking up sex partners. You don’t dress so pro-Christian or pro-Republican or pro-Democrat or put forth anything that would not be totally appropriate for whatever your work environment is. That’s what they’re paying you for, to do a job, not to look so outrageous or to act so outrageous that your behavior subtracts from getting the job done.

(There’s this gay black young man at my local Wal-Mart who flaps and flutters about (literally dancing) so loudly you know he’s gay from the front door when he’s at a register. If it weren’t so ridiculous it would be funny. “Hey, girlfriend! (Speaking to a male employee.) Bring me over some twenties. That’s a sweety.”)

[tcrlaf]

They should stay in California, then...

Lots of High-paying Toyota-like jobs in La, right??

OH...
WAIT....

[Radix]

Sure, that's the REAL issue that companies need to be concerned about when considering the relocation of thousands of jobs and millions of Dollars in cost savings.

I’d say if you’re so LGBT it can be spotted from low orbit then you have other problems.

"low orbit". I like that... if gaydar can be set off at planetary distance, you're probably not focused on your day job.

That will make for nice commute in the morning -- kind of like trying to get from Pasadena to Torrance. Oughta make the fudge packing rump rangers feel right at home.

Any Plano residents out there want to give the 411 on what life is really like?

Horrible for out-of-closet peter puffers. Stay away at all costs. If you are still in the closet fine. Texans are pretty much a live and let live bunch, but overt flamers do not get the red carpet like they do in Kali.
