politicians are cool

Tenn. Rep. Richard Floyd (R) is a strong supporter of the state’s recently introduced "Bathroom Harassment Act," and defended the bill in a recent interview. In the broadcast, Floyd even says that he would physically harm a transgendered person, reported Tennessee news station, News 5 in a Jan. 12 article.

"I believe if I was standing at a dressing room and my wife or one of my daughters was in the dressing room and a man tried to go in there -- I don’t care if he thinks he’s a woman and tries on clothes with them in there -- I’d just try to stomp a mudhole in him and then stomp him dry," Floyd said.

"Don’t ask me to adjust to their perverted way of thinking and put my family at risk. We cannot continue to let these people dominate how society acts and reacts."

The "Bathroom Harassment Act" would find a transgender person $50 for using a public bathroom and dressing room.


cool politicians!

My favorite part is when they separated church from state.
In the interview, Floyd references an incident that occurred in a Texas Macy’s department store where an employee was fired for discriminating against a transgender woman.

Natalie Johnson refused to let a transgender woman into a Macy’s dressing room because it "violated her religious beliefs," EDGE reported in a Dec. 12 article.

Johnson described the customer as a "man in makeup and woman’s clothes." The transgender woman told her that Macy’s is LGBT-friendly and she has a right to use the dressing room she wanted. Johnson’s manager stepped in and told her she needed to comply with the department store’s policy or she would be fired. She still refused and was subsequently let go.


<Iris> the_casualty, don't pretend the phrase "Dick Politician" is not redundant.

Oh how the media love to bash Republicans these days! But seriously, as much as I stand against sexual deviation, violence towards such people is the dumbest way to handle it all.

As for the woman who was standing up for her religious beliefs, I have to agree that she should have followed the company policy. Firing her from her job was justifiable, though I wish I didn't come to that.

"I don't like something because I am ignorant and closed-minded, so I'm going to lash out in a violent reaction"

Good job, moron!

Not to mention that the act he proposes is discriminatory and more than likely unconstitutional.

AuraBlaze : The republicans are bringing it upon themselves by creating social issues out of nothing, and demonizing people instead of coming up with solutions for real problems.

While I can understand the perspective to a degree.... it is so poorly thought out and mostly displays the ignorance of the people pushing for it more than anything.

Being transgender doesn't make someone a pervert or sex-addict or molester or any other "sexual deviant" that this guy is trying to paint transgenders as. It's ridiculous.

I'll bet that representative is just as much a pervert as what he's accusing transgenders to be.

You know what the difference is between a transgender and one who is a "correct gender"? nothing. We all have perverted desires whether we admit to them or not.

What I'm saying is a transgender is not inhuman, even if frowned upon by my beliefs, people need to take the planks out of their own eyes before judging a speck in the eye of someone else.
