Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Backward

As we start to get equality, the opposition pushes hard in desperation to attempt to force us back in the closet. They can’t get any traction with the truth so they take to lying and fear.

They lied about the Florence Colorado student to the point where she is now on suicide watch from all the hate that they threw at her.

One Christian minister who is running for Colorado elective office accused her of rape according to Think Progress,

Now the public school children are being told by a demonic spirit, “You must open up your daughter’s privacy to our perversion.” And this demonic spirit inside of this boy is now violating, and for all intents and purposes, he’s raping — at least visually — these teenage girls.

They will say anything to advance their cause. The religious right is leading their crusade in California, an article in the Huffington Post said,

"This is the most aggressive, the most dangerous bit of legislation against the child and against family than any other in the history of the United States," Hibbs of the Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, Calif. noted. "We've never seen a government pass such an insane bill as this."

Unfortunately, Gibbs is not alone in his dissent. "This radical bill warps the gender expectations of children by forcing all California public schools to permit biological boys in girls restrooms, showers, clubs and on girls sports teams and biological girls in boys restrooms, showers, clubs and sports teams," Randy Thomasson of savecalifornia.com told Fox News earlier this year. "This is insanity."

Meanwhile, conservative evangelist Pat Robertson condemned the legislation as "insane" and absurd" on a recent installment of "The 700 Club," even comparing members of the transgender community to his castrated horse, Right Wing Watch also originally reported. 

The Pacific Justice Institute again made false allegations against trans-girl but this time it is about a trans-girl in high school instead of an elementary school student. This time they claimed that a girl in a Los Angeles school was being harassed by a trans-girl who harassed her and peeked into a stall. Once again the school system said that the claim was false. The TransAdvocate published the transcript of an interview with a school official,

Los Angeles Unified School District: Office of communications

Cristan: I’m calling to verify some information that I saw on the channel 10 news.

LAUSD: I’m sorry, what information are you trying to verify?

Cristan: Sure, sure, on channel 10 news it says that, at least on their website, that a LA high school student complained because a transgender kid was in the restroom peeking over stalls. And so that’s on the news and I just wanted to fact check that claim. Have you actually received complaints of transgender children climbing over stalls to look at other people as they’re in the stalls?

LAUSD: I will have to check that for you. I believe that was fabricated, but give me one second. I need to verify. Hold on for a second.

Cristan: Okay.

LAUSD: Because it’s been a few days since we got that report. So hold on for me.

Cristan: Sure.

[On Hold]

LAUSD: I apologize for the wait. They did get the complaint and it turned out that it was fabricated by one of the parents who opposes transgender students in schools. So it was an unfortunate situation, to have to put the students through, but it was fabricated.

The story of the harassment was reported by California news outlet with no verification of its truth.

And it is not just limited to Colorado and California; in Iowa they are also spreading their fear. USA Today had an article about the opposition to the gender equality law,

Hurley says he is concerned that new policies will allow voyeurs and sex offenders to simply claim a different gender identity to gain access to areas where women and children are vulnerable.

"If a pervert or a stalker or a person who's wanting to be a voyeur or worse were to decide one day, 'Hey, I feel I'm a different sex,' they could use a women's bathroom — and that's very problematic," said Hurley, a former Republican lawmaker who is president of the Iowa Family Policy Center. "That opens a can of worms for perverts to throw their weight around and make trouble for people."

When they are making these wild accusations they know that there has never been a case in the years since the first anti-discrimination law was passed in 1975.of a person using the law to commit a crime. But that doesn’t stop these so called Christians from spreading fear,  hatred and bearing false witness; they don’t the little things like facts get in their way. They are just using religion to hide behind their bigotry.

They hide been the Bible to justify segregation, they hide behind the Bible to keep gay and lesbian in the closet and now they are doing it to us. It didn’t work then and let us keep it from working now.

Listen to Pastor Hibbs rant (Warning, make sure you have taken your blood pressure medication)...

The law does not give students the right to just walk into the bathroom of the opposite sex, they must first notify the school administration. Somehow I doubt very much that a boy is going to declare his gender as a girl and dress as a girl just to go into the girls' bathroom.
