North Carolina's largest city passed a law Monday allowing transgender people to choose public bathrooms that correspond to their gender identity, which the governor had called a threat to public safety and warned that the General Assembly may step in.

The Charlotte City Council voted 7-4 to expand protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, making it the latest frontier in a national debate on how businesses treat gay, lesbian and transgender customers. One of the revisions to the city's nondiscrimination ordinance allows people to choose restrooms corresponding to the gender with which they identify.

"I'm pleased that Charlotte has sent a signal that we will treat people with dignity and respect, even when we disagree," Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts said moments after the vote. ...

Can only perverts choose which public bathroom to use? Sounds a lot like the old "Whites Only" bathrooms.

Seems to me the solution is for every (true) female in Charlotte to arm themselves with powerful handguns. If any pervert who claims to be “transgender” goes into the women’s bathroom and attempts to molest them, just whip out said handgun and give them an instant sex-change.....right before they send ‘em to Hell.

We’re dealing with this same crap here in Washington state. I have a good friend, a Christian activist mom, who quit her job at the YMCA as a fitness instructor because they implemented “transgender rights” in their facilities. She’s now part of a movement to get an initiative on the ballot for the general election in November that will overturn the “transgender” rule.

Most of these people still have a penis. Next they will complain that there aren’t any urinals in the “ladies” room.

Somewhere along the line, the “love that dare not speak its name” became “the love that won’t shut the %#$& up”.

This ridiculousness is popping up all over the place. It has to stop. Sanity needs to be restored. I partly blame “Republican” Bruce Jenner.

"We have been bigoted all these years?"

In the mind's and heart's of these deconstructionists, yes. Every natural norm must be torn down because it's deemed as being the antithesis of the Utopian concept in these twisted individuals' minds. There is no reasoning with these reprobates.
