For the record, there was a primary opponent to Portman. I bothered to do research and voted for the guy. He had little name recognition and no ads, so unfortunately, he lost in a landslide. A lot of people, including some of my family voted for Portman because he had the name recognition.

Obama’s gay commissars have something on Portman.

“Portman, who has endorsed Trump, said while he hasn’t reviewed the details of Trump’s proposal”

So why are you commenting on it?

[WENDLE]

He is an ex establishment pretty boy of no actual substance or accomplishment. I checked and this guy never made a payroll, never built anything and has never worked outside of government. He wants high school boys to urinate and take showers with high school girls. He wants grown men exposing themselves to female children in bathrooms. North Carolina does NOT want that. We don’t have dictatorial law making by the Department of Justice!! We actually make our laws in Congress and signed by the president or they aren’t laws at all!!
As far as his comment on Trump— I guess he can comment all he wants by he couldn’t shine Trump’s shoes!!

“while he hasn’t reviewed the details of Trump’s proposal”

In other words, Portman put his mouth in gear before engaging his brain...

Its called states rights Rob. Stay in OH if you want unisex restrooms.

Portman, who came out in support of same-sex marriage in 2013 after his son revealed he was gay,

I feel sorry for him. The shame he must feel for having a gay son.

"You need to not discriminate against people and be sure that we are respecting religious liberties,"

in the libturd world the street only goes in one direction thus no room for those apposing their views by wanting to keep public restrooms confined to single sex. It's astounding how a minority class of folks demand the rest of us accept with open arms their ungodly lifestyles. Maybe the Federal government should mandate that all public businesses provide/install an exclusive third restroom just for those people who don't know what sex they are.

—””You need to not discriminate against people and be sure that we are respecting religious liberties,”

Yes, Mr. Portman, but Trannies have complicated the definition of what “people” are. These aren’t typical “people.” It’s their OWN doing, not ours, so they have to deal with the consequences.

If society believes that after a sex change, a person is still their original gender (same brain, same mind, just mutilated genitals) — THEN they probably should continue to use restrooms matching their ORIGINAL Gender.

HA HA.....The endorsement of the NFIB! What a load of crap.
Who cares???
I stopped handing these grifting lobbyists my business’s money along time ago. Same with other trade associations.
They suck! If they are located in DC....they really suck.
You pay while these clowns position themselves up the next stone of the DC power pyramid.
GET A REAL JOB!!!!! Or at least remove a DC parasite!!!!

My wife and I had this argument. She thinks the LGBT debate is water under the bridge and that we are not going to win it, so let’s find a bathroom compromise. I asked if she would say the same about abortion, and she thinks abortion is still up for debate. If it is water under the bridge, what about for states like NC? If they are socially conservative don’t they have a right to uphold moral? Or are they just paddling against the inevitable?

[jokemoke]

Rob Portman is a good guy -1,000 times better than his Dem opponent Strickland. Ted Strickland nearly bankrupted Ohio when he was our Governor. I will vote for Portman because he will work with Trump and he is better than Strickland.

[Lizavetta]

The economy is in freefall, our wonderful elites are robbing us blind and driving up the debt astronomically, we are being invaded by illegals, our dollar is being devalued daily .... and people are ENRAGED about not that but bathroom laws and what one presidential candidate says about another one.

I don't recognize this country anymore or its people.

Portman, who came out in support of same-sex marriage in 2013 after his son revealed he was gay,

There you go.

[elpadre]

Maybe the other guy would have done better if he told the constituents that Rob Portman wants to deny women’s right to privacy by allowing transgender males to use women’s restrooms and locker rooms.

We need a list of Republican Senators who are up for re election this year so we can see who is loyal to the party nominee and who is not.

[Arthur McGowan]

The vast majority of “conservatives” are really “bourgeois.” Go along. Be reasonable. Collect a paycheck and don’t raise “philosophical” questions. Portan is a perfect example. He is a notoriously upbeat, high-on-life type guy. Wdll-adjusted.

[Gritty]

It's not just about single stall unisex bathrooms or not. That's a tempest in a teapot. The NC Law prohibited the required mixing of sexes in dressing facilities and common areas as well which is what the city law was doing.

Who wants their daughters forced to change and shower with the boys in the school locker rooms or your wife with the guys at the workout gym?
