Transgender equality task force? Is this like a gay kind of superhero group?
Is Congress going to be eating a transgender turkey this Thanksgiving?
We got Islamo-Nazis storming the border to kill us with the full assistance of the POTUS and this is what they are focusing on.
I’m glad to see some members of Congress are focusing on the important issues out there instead of the frivolous ones like fighting terrorism. /s
Rodrigo formerly known as Amanda
As parents we wanted to make sure Rigo understood we were totally fine with it, we wanted to make sure he was safe," Ros-Lehtinen told CBS. "We know Rigo as our child, whether it's Amanda or now as Rodrigo, he's our son, we're proud of him."
was born Amanda. She came out as gay in high school and decided to become a transgender man once she hit college.
Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen (born Amanda Michelle Lehtinen on April 1, 1986 in Miami, Florida) is a Cuban-American, transgender LGBT rights advocate
At Brown University Heng-Lehtinen was a member of Queer Alliance. While attending Brown University, he produced the documentary Free Within These Walls, about Cuban prisoners of conscience. Heng-Lehtinen was a field organizer for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Later, he worked as the Membership Director at Gender Justice LA, a grassroots organization that works to build the power of the transgender community in Los Angeles through community organizing and leadership development. He also worked in fundraising at Liberty Hill Foundation and organized a transgender leadership development conference with the Transgender Law Center. He is now a professional fundraiser at GLAAD, an LGBT media advocacy organization.
Puke. This RINO slime has wreaked havoc for years but gone under the radar of freepers, conservative organizations, and Tea Party groups. Ros-Lehtinen has moved further and further left over the years and aside from being nominally "pro-life" and anti-Castro regime, she's basically a defacto RAT at this point. She's MUCH worse than numerous other RINOs that freepers have been screaming about for years.
Impy mentioned looney Walter Jones in a recent post, you can add Ros-Lehtinen to him on the list of "worst RINOs in the House who aren't from some heavily Dem state like New York"
Can we PLEASE find some "rising young hispanic conservative star" (one with a proven record as an ACTUAL Republican) to take her out in the primary?
So... which party is in the majority again??
bump for later
Amanda came out to her parents as gay in high school, but by the time she went to college discovered she was a transgender man
The moment of self-realization came during the writing of a letter to her parents in 2007 while home from college. She explained what transgender was, and included some brochures.
I have full confidence she would have come to these pro-LGBT opinions,†Rodrigo told DeFede, “whether I happen to be transgender or not.â€
Ros-Lehtinen frequently credits both her children – Rigo and Patricia – for helping her change views.
“They think of it as a Neanderthal way of thinking not to accept someone because of their sexual orientation,†Ros-Lehtinen said in a 2003 interview in the Miami Herald. “My kids just say, `So and so is gay.’ Its like, `He likes chocolate ice cream.’ It’s a total mind shift among generations … As new generations rise up, a lot of taboos will be laid to rest.â€.
Actually, the person has two x chromosomes. In other words, the child is a FEMALE.
Just about the only violence experienced by “trans-(whatevers)” is by their own alphabet brothers.
I knew there was something not right about him. Maybe he used to be a woman? Christine Van Hollen?
