Are we SURE This is the same country that single handedly held of the Germans until we joined the fight?

Because I see NO similarity.

I’m not sure why. Only drag queens wanting to use the women’s bathrooms

I’d be interested to know of they have ever given exactly the same warning to sodomites visiting Muslim countries. We don’t throw them off roofs or cut their heads off.

"Warning! Warning! You may have to use the crapper you have the plumbing for! Danger!"

Color me unimpressed.

What a freakin joke. The UK warns its transgender citizens that they may not be able to use their “gender identified” bathroom in NC and MS, but doesn’t warn them that they may get beaten up or killed by Muslim immigrant gangs when the travel to certain places in Sweden.

Hard to believe at one the British Empire controlled about a quarter of mankind.

attitudes toward LGBT people differ widely across the United States. …

Why is this news - by most estimates the LBGT community is between .01 - .03 % of the population?
