It's crazy if you think about it, what if a lawyer in a firm or someone in a sales department suddenly decides he's a woman and starts cross-dressing at work? Legally they can't fire him now without fear of a discrimination suit.
It's no wonder more and more are setting up home businesses and home schooling their kids.
And just a matter of time before the cancer spreads to NY. Liberal see, liberal do.
Nope.
Just a police report posted here about 10 years ago.
Felt by many on this forum to be an urban legend.
Maybe it has something to do with wearing the public down. They keep coming and coming with their alternative agendas in the hope people can't take them anymore and give in. And they will not stop until legislation like this exists in all 50 states.
No. They can decide they would rather pay $150,000 fine.
There was a civil war between the right and left sort of in the 60s. The next one that comes will see the conservatives out in the streets protesting and demonstrating. Politicians are not listening to the people at all on a whole array of social issues and are dragging the country down.
I'm not sure given the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Boy Scouts can exclude gays if this law is constitutional. It will probably get challenged as soon as a drag queen gets in their face.

It counts on the ignorance of the public or the gullibility of the public to accept what Oprah and PBS say about it without question. The fact is, people do not ask questions, they do not ask that the speaker prove their theory or provide empirical data to support their claims. The claims canNOT be supported but for some reason, the public simply seems to accept the claims. Critical thinking has been left on the roadside somewhere. The internet joins these folks up (TG,TS) and they buy into the same "theories" because everyone knows if you can persuade the public that this is some physiological/biological condition over which they have no control, the public will shrug and as "we must tolerate" and allow them to pursue their fetish in public and full time.
The same problem existed with "recovered memory." The public bought into it without asking questions because the psychiatric industry was promoting the idea, writing papers about it, getting publicity and appearing on talk shows, and using this bogus theory to send people to jail for years. It has finally been debunked thanks to people like Dr. Elizabeth Loftus. Therapists and psychiatrists are now being sued by those who were abused and whose lives were destroyed by this nonsense that even today, much of the public STILL thinks is true. Same with multiple personality disorder diagnosis. It has been debunked. Too late for those who were abused by the "system." We will, in the not too distant future, start to see a whole host of lawsuits brought by those who were persuaded by their therapists that they were in the wrong-gender body and who went on to have gender altering surgery. And for those that may persuade the state to pay for this while they are incarcerated, any lawsuits brought about afterwards claiming the state abused them at their most vulnerable time, will be picked up by us, the taxpayers.
Who cares?
Whatever you do, stay away from that place and you won'thave to worry about it. And if you are there, flee. As fast as your feet can fly, get out of there. Run, don't walk.
That party is a joke. I guess the next thing we'll see is Barney Frank in drag on the House floor.
If you think this won't seep into the rest of the country, think again. What ails California, eventually ails middle America. btw, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Rhode Island have a similar law, already. Just not as many people and as concentrated with fringe groups. Not only will Californians feel this, so will the rest of the country. It's a matter of time.
A judge in San Francisco last week ruled that the Boy Scouts can't use Bilbao Park camping facilities because they require belief in a Supreme Being; therefore, the BSA is a religious institution, not entitled to use public property for meetings (or somesuch bilge). However, following that "logic", the new law does not apply to the BSA because it is a "religion".
I'm sure this is a surprise to the BSA.
