You know, I take their side and all, it's just not an issue that bothers me one iota, but that first picture looks like she's doing an SNL Pat pose. Pat Riley... I have to think SNL would like to get Julia Sweeney back just to do a bit on this STOOPID issue.

The truly sad part of of it all is that there is no dialing this back.

It's not like when Trump is defeated that all these scumbags are going to crawl back under their rocks.

The Repugnicans have taught their masses that bigotry is totally acceptable and their minions have embraced the message.

That isn't going away anytime soon.

I have no doubt I've used a restroom, spoke to, ate at a lunch counter, swam, interacted with a transgender and didn't know he/she was transgender. As long as there are no attempts for a personal relationship I accept who they are.

Are homophobic people insecure with their own sexuality?

Quote:
"Sometimes people are threatened by gays and lesbians because they are fearing their own impulses, in a sense they 'doth protest too much,'" Ryan told LiveScience. "In addition, it appears that sometimes those who would oppress others have been oppressed themselves, and we can have some compassion for them too, they may be unaccepting of others because they cannot be accepting of themselves."

Well said.

That comment is right up there with "I'm not a racist, but . . ."

Their's. I've been approached by homosexuals. I politely declined the invitation.

Have you ever been approached?

Sure, yes, but who cares? I'm not attracted to men, so I politely declined. I've yet to be approached by a transgender person, but I'm sure that would be a different story as I'm attracted to females, not men. If she was attractive enough to me, who knows? I'm not judgmental. I'd totally date a transgender woman if we hit it off. She's female after all.

I don't care either. Same as you I politely declined. I don't know how I'd react if I was approached by a transgender if I knew they were transgender.

To be honest I think I could be friends, I don't think I could be Intimate.

There's a very clear line between tolerance and forcing acceptance upon others. You could argue that the latter are being intolerant.

That's very different than saying you'd want no personal relationship at all.

Saddest part is he a parent, influencing his kids with that vile way of thinking and ignorance.

This notion that transgender access is the same as supporting pedophiles is completely idiotic.

Personal is different. My original intentions weren't very clear. I meant intimate.

There's nothing about bathroom policies that is "forcing acceptance" on anyone.

It's not about forcing acceptance. It's about providing equality. Transgender bathroom policies don't force acceptance anymore than saying black people shouldn't be barred from sharing restrooms with white people did a half century ago.

Sorry, I was trying to avoid a quote train. This was in reference to the exchange that was occurring above my post. I don't think people should be criticized for being uncomfortable about having an intimate relationship with a transgender person.

As jodeke said, he/she would tolerate, even befriend, a transgender person. I thought it was wrong for DuncanIdaho to consider someone judgmental for not wanting to be in an intimate relationship with a transgender person. To me, that is also intolerance.

For the record, I'm heterosexual but fully support legalized gay marriage and transgender rights.

Ah! OK.

I don't think DI's point was that straight people were bigoted for not wanting to consider entering an intimate relationship with a gay or transgender person. I think he was reacting to what I also perceived as an unwillingness to have any kind of interpersonal relationship at all.

Thanks. Gives me a new level of respect for your posts on the subject.
