I had posted on FB, a post supporting protecting our children in public bathrooms from sexual predators.

A cousin responded with this:
~”This is horrible propaganda”
me:
~“really? ? ?”
A Christian friend replied:
“I completely agree with this photo!!”

An other relative responded:
~”Can understand why some feel this way, but a man who dresses as a woman is not automatically a danger to children.  In fact, many are fathers themselves. What a lot of people don’t know is many cross dressers are heterosexual. But even if they are not, chances are they are not a danger. (Most pedophiles seem to be hetero anyways. But being a cross dresser doesn’t make them one.)”

My cousin sent a post with a video from this Gov. and asked me to watch it.

~”In response to a wave of anti-transgender legislation in several states around the country, Delaware Gov. Jack Markell stands up for transgender equality and combats the misinformation and scare tactics being utilized by proponents of these discriminatory bills. Gov. Markell is the only sitting governor to have signed both sexual orientation and gender identity protections in employment, housing, and public accommodations.

Thanks to the office of Gov. Markell, Equality Delaware, and the Center for American Progress.”

I could not include video, I am sure you could find it on a FB.  I replied to my cousin:

~”Cousin,
I love you, but boy parts belong in the boys room.  Bruce Jenner is not brave, a hero, or a women, he is just a confused man, hiding from reality.

Elizabeth Warren is not an indian, the  white girl who claimed to be black was not and never will be black.  These people have rejected who they are  and we do them no favors by allowing their delusions.

What you think of as progress, will lead to no good. 

Again, I love you.

What is happening to our country, will destroy us if it continues.”

This brought on these replies:  My replies will be in bold.  Others are different people.

~”Shame Bill, I see you are unfettered by education or wisdom. Hope you get that sorted.”

~”The LGBT unnecessary hostility about my desire to avoid having a man in my daughters shower room is what scares me.”

~”It’s not LGBT hostility. People of all sexuality, races, religion, and gender disagree with this bathroom issue.

People are tired of hate and being put down for differences. Throughout history decency always wins eventually. This will be resolved one day. No soul should have to deal with that.

Have you had to deal with hate in your life Bill? I have to question if you truly have. If you did I like to think you’d understand how it feels. You’d be more sympathetic to those that endure it on a daily basis.

I’m a  cis woman (Born female). I am a woman. I cannot imagine being born into the wrong body. That’s hard enough of a thought without adding hateful and close minded attitudes into the mix. Fearing for ones life due to being different.

What is happening to the country will eventually unite it. When people start looking through other eyes and not only through their reality and limited knowledge.”

~”Thank you for the reasoned reply.  “I cannot imagine being born into the wrong body.”   Is where we part ways. 

As a Christian, I believe we all are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Before we were formed in the womb He knew us.

We were made as He planned,  man and woman. 

Am I closed minded, probably, do I care whether you are LGBTG, or any other initial, color or creed?  Nope.  Do I hate any of the above?  No I do not.

I wish all would know the peace and joy of salvation.  I know most will not, this is a  sad reality.

So, do what you like, just don’t scare the horses. 

In other words, do not force others to accept and rejoice your beliefs anymore then you want to accept mine.

Thanks.”

~”Your unnecessary concern over other people’s genitals, and insistence on pushing your bigotry and religious delusion on the rest of us is what is destroying our country.”

~”Bill, what a beautiful responce! As a Delaware resident, and an Agnostic, I am always gladdened to hear reasonable discussion about religious beliefs. It fills me with joy when my religious friends wish me a blessed day, because the very best in them, is wishing the very best in me, joy.
You should never be forced to be apart of another’s belief system, but neither should you force your own beliefs tenets on another. 
We the people are all so very different. I would not want it any other way. Can’t we just all treat each other as equals, and let life sort itself ot from there? Equality sometimes means standing next to someone from another culture at the lunch counter who is very different from you.
I don’t believe that we should afford that person any less of an opportunity because they are different. We all just need to be better neighbors, and look out for one another. Worry less about a person’s personal life choices or expressions of self, and focus more on building relationships with those in your community, whether you approve of them or not.”

~”Bill Theunfetteredpreacher Cote what about all those lesbians in your girls bathroom? Why can’t men just keep their paws to themselves?...”

~”lesbians are often angry, but no threat to young women… now women school teachers and young men… trouble…  lol”

So you see, lots of opinions.  Tell me your thoughts.
