Consequence of Kalamazoo Ordinance 1856

This video could be considered disturbing and rightly so. If the proposed ordinance goes into effect, this scene would be legal inside the city limits.

whew, I turn my back for a day and it gets ugly. Well I guess we all better just vote YES on prop 1856. That would be the vote against discrimination. Your neighbors will thank you. GO KALAMAZOO!

It was fairly nice to have discussions during the first few days. I always have to follow your Yes up with a NO.

Amazing how people can miss that fact that Public Facilities are Rest Rooms, Locker Rooms and Changing Rooms. No, they don't have to build any new ones. We have to make do with what is there. I didn't write the law. It doesn't legalize any criminal activities. It does legalize the man entering the restroom if he perceives himself to be a woman Ordinance language: "To make a decision in whole or in part based on someones actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity" Vote NO

All right everybody, I will agree that since I don't agree with you, I am a bigot.

I would also say that intollerance runs both way. The research I examined on the subject indicates that they are still out as to the causes but that no genetic link has been found. I am sorry that this disturbs you so much. Yes is is shocking. Yes in some states a man is legally a woman. Until recently in Indiana, the value of PI was 3. The concept of PI was too abstract so the legislature changed it.

Kinkood has an interesting approach. I define the term, I apply the definition to you, you match. Surprise, and then QED, which usually follows a line of logical reasoning, not workplay. Much less objective than my desire for something other than a perception to define a legal class.

BULLSHIT. This ad is purposefully, fundamentally twisting the entire existence and experiences of actual transgender people and claiming that transgender people are all pedophiles [even though most pedophiles are white, straight, cisgender (non-transgender) men]. It's also showing a self-identified guy going into the restroom, which again is completely inaccurate.

The people behind this campaign should be ASHAMED of themselves! We need to protect the LGBT community in Kalamazoo.

Ah Ok, so an honest transsexual in transition is going to take advantage and rape women and children?

The problem with the video is that it implies that the ordinance legalizes rape. This is the impression that the average Joe Blow watching it is going to get, and the video is designed to that end. It's going to get the average Joe Blow to hate transsexuals and make him think that they are degenerates who are after his wife and children.

It's a hate piece.

Riiiiight. Cause most child molesters were waiting for a law. -_-

What utter foolishness.

[AirwaveXReverie]

This is flat-out bullshit.

-_-

[Floatsfast]

Haha! People saw through your misleading video and voted yes.

Most cross-dressers are heterosexual and use the restroom that they're suposed to and usually don't go out in public dressed as the opposite sex.

Does this mean that because my wife dresses in T-shirts and jeans that she's a cross-dresser?

[ShipperChick]

A "transgender" could be a man who wants to be a woman, but still has a penis. OR a woman who wants to be a man but doesn't have a penis yet (or ever will) Regardless of what people believe about transgenders (pedophiles or NOT) I would never want my daughter or MYSELF to have to use a public restroom with someone who has a penis or a woman who is becoming a man.

Your bigotry knows no bounds. How can you hate in the name of Christ?

[WILCOsurgtech]

LIAR. The ordinance is a housing discrimination ordinance. nothing more.
