PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s human rights panel has ruled in favor of a transgender woman who complained that she was discriminated against when she was denied a room by an assisted living facility.

The Maine Human Rights Commission voted 3-2 on Monday that there were reasonable grounds that Sunrise Assisted Living violated the Maine Human Rights Act and discriminated against the complainant on the basis of sex and sexual orientation or gender identity.

The complainant, who initially was anonymous and has since identified herself as Marie King, 79, complained to the commission that Sunrise would not admit her because the facility was concerned she wanted to reside with a female roommate, attorneys for King said. With King’s permission, a social worker had disclosed that she was a transgender woman looking for housing in an assisted living facility.

King said in a statement that she hopes her case helps prevent future discrimination against transgender people who are seeking elder care. Her attorneys, who are with GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, said the case is the first known discrimination complaint filed in the country by a transgender older adult against a long-term care facility.

So ones choices are not free,
I choose to not be around folks who are so demented they need to change seex to think they are happy..I’m sure that’s considered
Hateful, no it’s not, it’s the truth..

[Scrambler Bob]

She wants a roommate?

Put her in with that 84 year old guy who got out after murdering women, and killed another one and chopped her all up.

Maybe it will end up where Trans-Elders will have their very own facilities. Otherwise, everyone but the Trans-Elder is likely to be uncomfortable with the situation.
Identifiying as something is not the same as actually being something.

Can you imagine the reaction of the female that this cross-dressing man ultimately would be made to room with? I would be horrified.

[BobL]

I wonder if they put up with this crap in Russia?

You can say no to a smoker but can’t say no to a man with a mental illness trying to get into a female home. Amerika.

[ChildOfThe60s]

It’s not hate.

It is our free right of association.

I choose not to associate with LibTurds. Is that a “hate crime”? There people are nucking futs.

You won't have to imagine for long. The government will force this upon some unfortunate female.

So, the Maine Human Rights Commission rulings are law??? Does the Constitution of the State of Maine grant the Maine Human Rights Commission authority to make law?? and what happens if the assisted living facility says “no??”

[Chickensoup]

Hospitals 4 years ago were rooming people with folk of their gender identity, not their biological sex.

this has been going on a long time.

I recall when hospitals used to skate beds to accommodate a he/she. Then the heshes got angry that they were going into private rooms. and threated to sue.

[Chickensoup]

The Maine human rights commission is a leftist horrorshow that has done much damage.

Otherwise, everyone but the Trans-Elder is likely to be uncomfortable with the situation.

Of course but the powers-that-be will tell everyone to ‘Get over it!’ just as they told the girl students uncomfortable with boys in their changing rooms and the women at the gym with the same complaints.

So, when Ms. King changed her first name to Marie, why didn’t she change her last name to Queen?

[philetus]

4 of the 5 commissioners were appointed by a Dem governor.
Pretty much tells me 4 of 5 are Dems.

[knarf]

" . . . she was a transgender woman looking for housing in an assisted living facility."

Why don't all you freaks go and build your own facilities you are demanding of us to give you ?

This is just harassment ... and there are laws against THAT too, .... freaks !

[antidemoncrat]

“a transgender woman who complained that she was discriminated against when she was denied a room by an assisted living facility.”

Hurry! Send out an waaaambulance immediately.

*** Hateful, no it’s not, it’s the truth. ***

And really bad things happen when governments won’t admit the truth:
Pretend that some people are witches => witch hunts.
Pretend that black people aren’t people => slavery.
Pretend that Jewish people aren’t people => holocaust.
Pretend that preborn people aren’t people => abortion.
Pretend that homosexuality is normal => all kinds of perverse rulings like this one.

In the end it’s God we hurt in all..his body broken for us..to see what we do..
God uses all for his own purposes ,
And steers us to understanding..imo

I agree bad things happen to gangstamints that
Don’t admit the truth..

What can ever be right when man doesn’t know what to do, space..pleeease...what for..survival? Heaven laughing it appears, something like they think they know..laughter..

Lol..it will clean itself,, I hear fire this time..
