Normal Americans generally have a tolerant live-and-let-live approach to other people\u2019s choices about how they live. This is especially true in our \u201cLive free or die\u201d state of New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what \u201cnormal\u201d means. It is also why most of us have watched with a combination of tolerance and puzzlement as a \u201csexual extremist\u201d movement has gathered power in America. This movement, supported by the media and the Democrat Party, has worked to extend special rights and legal protections to an ever-expanding list of groups known exclusively by their sexual behavior.<\/p>\n
More importantly and more alarmingly, the gender-orientation movement always seeks to \u201cweaponize\u201d each new victim group by giving them \u201clawsuit power.\u201d<\/p>\n
This has resulted in the well-funded and well-publicized lawsuits by sexual extremists against bakers, flower-arrangers, pizza restaurants, wedding photographers and even churches.<\/p>\n
Since it is not hard to call yourself a victim and scream about it, the list of those given special treatment against \u201cdiscrimination\u201d has only grown. Originally led by homosexuals and lesbians the sexual-identity movement has triumphed in many jurisdictions with Democrat and media support as the majority looked on.<\/p>\n
However, at some point everyday \u201clive and let live\u201d people feel compelled to stand up and protect their families. After all, they are the majority. Why? Because women and children are being endangered by the gender-ideology movement and its demands. It is happening in New Hampshire right now with a proposed \u201cForced Bathroom Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n
House Bill 478<\/a>, a proposed law being considered right now by the State House in Concord, was recently voted out of committee with an \u201cOught To Pass\u201d recommendation. The bill is up for a vote on March 8 or 9 and if passed by the full House would eliminate the right to privacy for women and children in New Hampshire\u2019s public bathrooms and other formerly private spaces.<\/p>\n The proposed law gives uncontested access to those spaces to any male who claims he\u2019s \u201creally a woman.\u201d If passed, it will empower male sexual predators, including voyeurs, pedophiles and even potential rapists. The political right names this the bathroom bill, but a more appropriate name might be the \u201cPeeping Tom Protection Act.\u201d<\/p>\n It is not that those with gender identity issues are a threat, it is that those who are a threat will exploit the special classification proposed in this new law. Given the growing number of cases like we saw in the Bedford Target last year, the Legislature would be wise to craft laws to prevent this behavior, not to encourage it.<\/p>\n
