Anti-LGBT activists confront transgender teenager at Charlotte government center bathrooms

http://goqnotes.com/34460/anti-lgbt-activists-confront-transgender-teenager-at-charlotte-government-center-bathrooms/

As City Council hears tonight from a list of 120 speakers on a contentious LGBT non-discrimination ordinance proposal, anti-LGBT activists are confronting transgender people attempting to use Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center bathrooms.

qnotes has received two reports of confrontations of transgender people using the government center’s bathrooms, including one confrontation in which anti-LGBT street preacher Flip Benham, once convicted of stalking a local abortion doctor, confronted a 17-year-old transgender girl.

Olivia, 17, told qnotes she went to use the women’s restroom on the second floor of the government center. Inside, everything was fine and she heard no complaints from the adult women in the restroom. But when she came out, Olivia says a man confronted her, called her a “young man” and said she shouldn’t have been in the women’s restroom.

Olivia also said that Benham joined in the confrontation. Benham’s fellow activist, Ante Pavkovic, apparently recorded the incident, but Benham refused to show qnotes the video, saying he’ll send it to Shawn (sic) Hannity at Fox News.


Ah yes, Flip Benham, the fundie whackjob who converted Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe from Roe v. Wade).

People and I mean everyone, should be allowed to use the bathroom in peace. Why would I care if another self-identified woman used the bathroom? Why would I even question it?

These people are just sick in the head

politics! Many in the RW need some serious counseling IMO. IMO it's hard to determine what came first, they had a need for this type of BS and it attracted them, or they were converted to RW craziness.
