No good can come of this. But excuse me, while I’m looking for the good, could you please direct me to the transgendered bathroom facilities, or the “gender queer” facilities? I have a task force I need to flush down the toilet.

By Scott NorvellA task force at Colorado University in Boulder is recommending that the school convert more bathrooms into unisex facilities in order to prevent discrimination against “gender queer” individuals on campus, according to the Daily Camera.
The Transgender-Gender Queer task force says more “all-gendered,” multi-stall bathrooms need to be created. Currently, there is only one outside CU’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center, and a handful in the dorms dorms and classroom buildings.
The new bathrooms, if they are built, will be designated by a special icon, half of which is wearing a dress and the other half wearing pants.
Apparently, according to gay rights groups, transgender people regularly face discrimination, harassment and violence in a world of sex-segregated bathrooms.
Oh that awful awful crazy world of sex-segregated bathrooms and those stupid people what with their sexist penises and vaginas. Damn homophobe transgenderphobe sort-of-like-sexist but not really people.
Here’s another gem from the same source:
Dropout Prevention
A bill currently in the California state legislature would require school textbooks to mention the sexual orientation of historical figures in order to make gay and lesbian students feel more comfortable, according to the AP.
The bill, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Sheila Kuehl of Santa Monica, is meant to prevent gay students from dropping out of school. One senator, Jackie Speier, equated learning about the accomplishments of gays to the women’s suffrage movement and the civil rights struggle of black Americans.
One senator, however, wondered why texts should be required to mention someone’s sexuality even when it’s not particularly relevant to a person’s accomplishments.
“For instance, where John Marshall of course discovered gold in California that ultimately led to the 1849 gold rush and California as a state. Now, I don’t have any idea whether John Marshall was gay or transgender or whatever, but even if he was, certainly whether or not he was, doesn’t add to or subtract from the contribution he made to California history,” said Sen. Bill Morrow.
Vote liberal.
