I wonder if they sneak into the wrong restroom and then expose themselves. You know, just to make it a complete test.

I guarantee after one or two episodes of that there won't be any more volunteers
to "create" the nonexistent problem.

Someone who constantly lives in fear - muslims, gays, trans, anyone different. She doesn't have a church, but soaks in the misdirection and lies from people from the AFA and similar orgs. I told her that nothing will change, it'll just be people harassing others, no prevention of crime, and it's just a made-up problem. She accused me of being naive. She said some hateful things to me. We're not talking to each other.

Or were they going into the Men's room. Men have to pee too, y'know.

WTF can we expect in the future? Let me tell you what I'm going to do. I have a little bottle of MACE and am going to put it back on my key-chain (as suggested when I bought it.) And if I'm EVER accosted by some out-of-his-mind-evangelical in a bathroom with his business hangin' out, I'm gonna' mace the you-know-what out of it and make a run for the door and once free, scream for security. And I would never ever let my children go in bathrooms without myself or my husband or another adult from the family. Evangelicals are the problem, folks, not the LGBT community.

His little dirl to go to the ladies room alone. Well, duh, he shouldn't let the three year old go alone anyway. Bathroom law or not, she needs supervision for safety and hygiene.

...from themselves.


After all Republicans are the ones with the vast majority of charges of sexually deviant, stalking, and pedophilic tendencies, including using public washrooms for their elicit behaviour.

I mean..if this law doesn't go through, who's to stop them? It's not their fault, but Satan may make them dress up as a woman and go into that gender's washroom with bad intent. They need someone to stop them.

"NO! Don't go in there! You're going in with me" and took her in the men's room. Wouldn't seeing men at urinals be worse than letting her use a stall? He could just wait outside for her. I don't get it. He obviously gets his news from the crazy channel.

Tue May 3, 2016, 06:12 PM

criminalized something that no one had actually, ever, claimed to have experienced as a problem,

these people are going around actually engaging in worse behavior, which also would be a crime under that very same law, to demonstrate that some retail store isn't reacting as harshly their own behavior as they would demand? Basically, that means that men are entering some women's rest rooms in Target stores, trying not to get caught doing so, so that they can say that Target doesn't take its bathroom gender segregation very seriously. And they're claiming that it's super-evil for people not to use the rest room with the icon best representing a stereotypical image of their gender at birth? But it's not super-evil if they set out, with obvious premeditation, to do it?

This is, bar none, the just plain stupidest behavior I have ever witnessed by a right-wing 'Christian' group. It's not anywhere near the worst behavior, just the stupidest.

Hey, let's get a group together that will go through Target's women's bathroom, looking for men creeping around, and...

Um... Yeah, I just had an absurd image of an heroic civil rights struggle playing out in Target rest rooms throughout the country. Wow. I don't think a really stupid person with a gun to my head could possibly blow my mind on the subject of stupidity more than these creeps just did.

is antithetical to democracy and sanity. It's just an excuse to be an asshole and bother normal people under the cloak of a "deeply held religious belief" holding sway over the law. In Islam it's called Sharia Law.
We can thank deceased Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia who wrote the opinion in the Hobby Lobby case allowing religion to supersede the law. Now these nuts think they have a license to impose their faith on others as if no one else has any human rights.
Then they complain about a war on faith. They are a scourge on humanity.

Wed May 4, 2016, 12:03 PM

The only barrier I've ever known to doing something that society thinks is wrong is INTEGRITY.

And sometimes one needs the integrity to break down a barrier that should not exist.

The bathroom tester KKKristians know no integrity in my opinion.
