Analyzing and refuting the inaccuracies lodged against the lgbt community by religious conservative organizations. Lies in the name of God are still lies.
Tony Perkins On #Pussygate: Christian Leaders Must Support Trump No Matter How Insane He May Be - From a good friend of mine, Joe Jervis (yes I name dropping) comes this. It is of no surprise but let's not discount the power of repetition. The anti-lgbt religious right has run one of the biggest frauds on America (the fact that they are "religious" or "right") and it's up to us to continue to drill this fact into the heads of Americans with snippets like this . . .
NC Gov. Pat McCrory is practically careening towards disaster in defending his absolutely indefensible HB2 law. I think a moment at last night's gubernatorial debate gives an indication of what I mean.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said during a debate Tuesday that transgender Olympian Caitlyn Jenner better plan on using the men’s bathroom if she visits the state.
McCrory, continuing his defense of the state’s sweeping anti-LGBT law, blamed “liberals” for “a major change in culture” that forced Republicans to respond with the legislation.
In the private sector in North Carolina, she can go wherever the private
sector wants her to,” McCrory, a Republican, said of Jenner, who as
Bruce Jenner won Olympic gold 40 years ago. “If she’s going to a shower
facility at [University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill] after running
around the track, she’s going to use the men’s shower.”
Granted, Caitlyn Jenner hasn't exactly endeared herself to the lgbt community, but this isn't about her alone per se. Right now, Jenner is symbolic of the danger and undue stress faced by every transgender man and woman who gets exposed to danger because of the willful ignorance of others like McCrory.
People like McCrory push these transphobic laws because they claim they are concerned about safety. But it doesn't look that way to me.
