Trans people in bathrooms hasn't been an issue for the past 10 years... I don't understand why it's now suddenly an issue that someone that looks like a guy is in the men's restroom for a basic bodily function. The republican party lost my support a long time ago because I'm gay and they think I don't have any right to exist or to marry somebody I love. That's not an agenda.. that's me and it affects my life. As for the silent majority... well... at one point a majority of people were against interracial marriage... a majority of people saw no problems with slavery... Human rights are human rights, and that's something 60% of people shouldn't be able to take away from the 40%. (Except national polling for gay marriage for example is now well over 50% support, etc, but that's not the point.)
That said... I think it's important to be tolerant of both sides and tolerance goes both ways. I understand people have differences of opinion... I just don't think that should ever extend to being able to threaten someone's rights.
I have gay friends, both male and female, and some of my favorite crew to work with are gay. I have no issue with any of that but to me this is a pretty simple topic:
If you have a hog you go to the men's room.....End of story. Life isn't fair and sometimes feelings get hurt. If you truly feel like you are a woman but are stuck in a man's body then I really do feel for you but I simply cannot agree with him going into the ladies room.
Unfortunately this is a case where the few ruin it for the masses because you can't sit here and tell me that some dude isn't going to dress up as a woman and claim that "he identifies that way" in order to be a creep. It will happen. 100% chance. If it happens even once, ever, it's not worth it just for some guys "feelings".
