Colorado "transgender nondiscrimination" bill: the floodgates are opening
-------------------------------------------------------------
Guv strikes state's gender-specific restrooms: wnd
'Who would have believed it would be legal for men to enter women's locker rooms?'
May 29, 2008

"With today's signature on SB200, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, a Democrat, has struck gender-specific restrooms and locker rooms statewide, giving woman and girls reason to fear being confronted by predators, cross-dressers "or even a homosexual or heterosexual male," according to a critic."

"The state's new "transgender nondiscrimination" bill makes it illegal to deny a person access to public accommodations including restrooms and locker rooms based on gender identity or the "perception" of gender identity."

""Henceforth, every woman and little girl will have to fear that a predator, bisexual, cross-dresser or even a homosexual or heterosexual male might walk in and relieve himself in their presence. The legislation lists every conceivable type of organization to which this law applies, including restaurants, bathhouses, massage parlors, mortuaries, theaters and ‘public facilities of any kind.’ Those who would attempt to protect females from this intrusion are subject to a fine of up to $5,000 and up to one year behind bars," he continued."

According to the bill, business owners and managers of restaurants, gyms, barber shops, massage parlors, etc., and managers of "public [facilities] of any kind whether indoor or outdoor" cannot deny a person employment or access to a facility based on gender identity or that "perception."

" ... Lest we think that this is just the 'bathroom bill,' I'd like us also to realize that this really is about Christian businesspeople being able to practice their faith through their profession," Rep. Amy Stephens said, citing an Albuquerque photographer who refused to photograph a same sex couple's ceremony, was brought before the New Mexico Civil Rights Commission, found guilty and fined $6,000.

"....the Colorado bill now will be "coming to every state in the country.""

re: a fine of up to $5,000 and up to one year behind bars

We are living now in a world that has truly gone insane..losing any sense of rational thought, having no moral compass whatsoever. And...you are being threatened with large fines and jail time if you want to challenge the new status quo. And there is the real agenda, legal protection in every sphere, starting in the bathrooms, as Rep. Amy Stevens points out.

Bizzaro world 2008 where everything is upside backwards and downside up.
maranatha!

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isaiah 59:14-15
