Besides making a movie for Citizens United, you’re helping raise money for them via an emailsent to conservatives that speaks of transgender bathrooms? They just wanted me to speak my mind. Common sense tells you, you have a man in a bathroom, and the women have theirs, and they have their little daughters in there. Things have gone real well operating under that arrangement.
So you don’t like President Obama’s recent declaration that schoolchildren should use whatever bathroom they identify with? There’s been a lot of decrees in the past five years that I don’t agree with, and that’s just one of them. I don’t know what percent of Americans are confused about whether they are male or female, but I’m a Bible man with common sense, and logic tells me you’re either a boy or a girl, absent a few medical aberrations.
Why is this such a big issue all of a sudden? That’s an interesting question. What’s behind it is removing male and female, like with same-sex marriage, once you get that out of the way, what you open the door for is sexual free-for-all, and depravity goes mainstream.

“He was in no way dressed as a woman,” Sickles said. “He had on jeans, a t-shirt, 5 o’clock shadow, very deep voice. He was a man.”
Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia -
Ottawa, Ontario
17 May 2016
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia:
“Today, I join Canadians – and people around the world – to recognize the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
“Everyone deserves to live free of stigma, persecution, and discrimination – no matter who they are or whom they love. Today is about ensuring that all people – regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity – feel safe and secure, and empowered to freely express themselves.
“On this important day, I encourage all Canadians to raise awareness, and mobilize to end the violence, prejudice, and judgement faced by LGBTQ2 persons.
“As a society, we have taken many important steps toward recognizing and protecting the legal rights for the LGBTQ2 community – from enshrining equality rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the passage of the Civil Marriage Act. There remains much to be done, though. Far too many people still face harassment, discrimination, and violence for being who they are. This is unacceptable.
“To do its part, the Government of Canada today will introduce legislation that will help ensure transgender and other gender-diverse people can live according to their gender identity, free from discrimination, and protected from hate propaganda and hate crimes.
“Today, let us unite in a global celebration of diversity, and reaffirm our commitment to unequivocally defend LGBTQ2 rights as human rights. We will never stop fighting for a safer, more equal, and more just world for all of our children.”

Texas may be at the forefront of efforts to rebuff the Obama administration’s promotion of transgender rights amid a series of political and legal skirmishes
On International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia, the governor ofTexas had a message for the citizenry. “JFK wanted to send a man to the moon. Obama wants to send a man to the women’s restroom. We must get our country back on track,” Greg Abbott tweeted on Tuesday morning, around the same time as the president issued a statement marking the event by underlining his government’s commitment to “advancing the human rights of LGBT individuals”. Texas officials have signaled that the state will be at the forefront of efforts to rebuff the Obama administration’s promotion of transgender rights amid a series of political and legal skirmishes that alarm advocates and seem likely to send the issue to the US supreme court. “We have been swept up and are being used in a political game and a lot of fear-mongering is going on around our identity. It’s not unlike the civil rights movement in the 60s around race but now the identity piece that’s being used is gender identity,” said Brandon Beck, a transgender man who is chair of theTransgender Education Network of Texas, an advocacy group. “Obama is turning bathrooms into courtroom issues,” Abbott told delegates last week at the Texas GOP’s state convention in Dallas. “I want you to know, I am working with the governor of North Carolina, and we are going to fight back.”
Dan Patrick, the Texas lieutenant governor, said the state is willing to forfeit potentially billions of dollars in federal funding that provides free meals for underprivileged schoolchildren rather than institute the government’s policy. About 0.3% of the US population is estimated to be transgender, which would equate to an average of three students in a school of 1,000. “Well, in Texas, he can keep his 30 pieces of silver. We will not yield to blackmail from the president of the United States,” Patrick told reporters. It may not be an idle threat: citing his opposition to Obamacare, former governor Rick Perry turned down up to $100bn in federal funds over a decade that would have covered healthcare for about a million of Texas’s working poor. Last week, Patrick urged the Fort Worth schools superintendent to resign for backing a transgender student bathroom policy. He did not. On his Facebook page on Tuesday, Patrick termed the issue a “modern day ‘come and take it’ moment in Texas”, alluding to the slogan used during the Texas revolution, and posting a restroom sign in place of the usual graphic of a cannon.
like when obuma made his comments on the police.cops had way more problems when trying to do their jobs.this bullshit policy-just going to cause more problems.
