What could possibly go wrong?

I wonder how all these bleeding heart liberal scumbags are going to feel when their young daughter is molested in a bathroom and the piece of dirt says he’s a trangender woman and he has the right to be in the woman’s room.This opens up so many bad doors

will these morons still have their private bathrooms with a key in their fancy offices…..?? Male/Female ?

moslsters will molest, regardless of any law. This bill will not legalize sexual harassment.

There are already laws such as this one in many other states and also in Cambridge, Boston, Amherst, and Northampton & there have been no complaints of men trying to use the ladies’ room in order to prey upon women. No one is trying to legalize criminal behavior in bathrooms with this bill. Yes, some people may be uncomfortable with the idea, but being uncomfortable has never been sufficient justification to deny other people their civil rights and equal protection under the law.

Wow…the bathroom argument still brings out the lunatics. The public bathroom argument gets dusted off every few years and has been used to defeat all kinds of legislation; Equal Rights Ammendment being the most notable.
The host continues to show that she will go to the bottom of the political gutter to find a wedge issue. I knew she was a tough politico, but not literally a gutter fighter.

This is the tipping point, if these guys push this through then they are complete village idiots.

I am glad our legislators are tackling the tough isues yet again

I have Ethnic Identity Disorder and demand to use the Colored Only Bath Room. See if I don’t sue!

Don Quixote tilted at windmills because “they might be giants”. So let’s make a law that because “they might be giants” that Don Quixote’s right to tilt at them must be protected.

This article is inaccurate. When did the Herald become Fox News? The bill adds the category of “gender identity or expression” to our hate crime laws as well as to the employment, housing, credit, public accommodations, and public education non-discrimination laws. It also amends existing crime laws to explicitly protect people targeted for violence and harassment because of their gender identity or expression. As someone else noted, 13 states, DC, and 102 counties and cities have passed non-discrimination laws on this basis, including Boston and Cambridge. Approximately 155 employers in Mass. have also adopted non-discrimination policies that include gender identity.

You’re an idiot. Have you actually read the bill? Do you have any comprehension of what it actually does? Of course not. You’re “the lone Republican” and that apparently prevents you from anything resembling meaningful policy analysis. Easier to phone it in and inflate bogus arguments that rile up your fan base.

Well, Andy, you seem to have read it so why don’t you enlighten us.

Another dog and pony show at The State House today!!!!!!

@LibsWreckedMA - the bill adds the words “gender identity or expression” to existing legislation, along with the existing categories of race, sex, sexual orientation and religion.

That’s it.

Not a word about bathrooms in it.

The full text is available online for anyone to read at http://www.mass.gov/legis/bills/house/186/ht01/ht01728.htm

But those opposing it rely on people not reading it, and believing their, er, counter-factual, claims.

God you are pathetic.
