Fayetteville councilman John La Tour is being accused of confronting a woman he assumed was transgender and threatening to wave his penis at her at a crowded restaurant.
The Arkansas Times reports that La Tour is a Tea Party conservative and is a self-professed crusader for Conservative Values. The lawmaker recently scored a $2,000 campaign donation from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
After the incident, a manager apparently asked La Tour to leave Arsaga restaurant. This inspired him to post a now-deleted Facebook message that urged people to ban the eatery. (Everyone who lives in Fayetteville, AR should never eat or treat themselves at any of Cary Arsagas establishments. I will never go to any of these again.)...
You can declare youre a man or youre a woman, whatever you want to. Im not going to ask a man to dance with me, La Tour insists he says. In fact, he claims his exact words were: I am a man and I can prove it.

Seems a bit illegal to threaten to prove your gender. How you gonna do that without um exposing yourself. And asking someone else to prove it, gack he just asked someone to disrobe? WTF what a gross little troll.
