NEWS & COMMENTARY The people do not support transgender bathrooms



A just released Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that the traditionists are winning the culture war over bathroom use. That is in spite of the fact that the Elite Media has pulled out all the stops to make people believe support is strong and growing for men being able to use women's bathrooms. Just the opposite is actually true if you believe these results.



Commentary



While we're at it we repeat what we have said over and over again: This is not about bathrooms. It's not about economic development. Rather it is a part of a continuing strategy of the progressive left to push homosexuality in the face of ordinary Americans. It falls in a long list of fascists attempts to force Americans to accept something they do not believe in. As we have pointed out, the schools were targeted with the intent of pushing the homosexual agenda by focusing on "anti-bullying" policies and activities. There have been numerous efforts from the facists to force people—from bakers to magistrates—to not only accept but participate in homosexual to force their lifestyle on those who view it as against their religion. And of course the opposition to the Marriage Amendment (one man and one woman) in North Carolina is but another example.



Yet we have Really Smart People, like John Hood trying to come up with rational "solutions"for the issue. The Governor has already agreed that some changes need to be made to HB2 law and it appears some of our progressive Legislative leaders are shifting toward "doing something" to correct what they are being beat over the head about.



But we would respectfully suggest to Mr. Hood that he is whistling in the wind. There is no acceptable "middle ground" on this issue. One side or the other is going to win and the other side is going to lose. If the Legislature changes one word of HB2 it will just add fuel to the fire. The issue is not only not going to go away, rather it is going to be amplified. That's the nature of the homosexual agenda. They will be back for another round another day on another issue. And again, it will not be about the underlying rationale for how public policy is constructed it will be about the fight. If the Legislature stands pat the homofacists will beat the bathroom/HB2 issue until people rebel against it. That's what this Reuters Poll shows.



So we have a suggestion for how to resolve it. Submit the issue to a vote of the People in the form of a constitutional amendment. That amendment should focus on religious toleration and non-discrimination .of all people, including heterosexuals. It should particularly insure Freedom of Conscience. The lawyers can come up with the language.



It is a fundamental right of the people to set the culture's norms and standards. And no matter what is set, not everyone will agree. But that's reality. The minority do not get to define the culture. They do have a right not to be harmed by the standards and indeed do rightly enjoy substantial rights to be considered and reasonably accommodated. But they have no right to force acceptance of something the majority do not condone.



Let the people decide. A just released Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that the traditionists are winning the culture war over bathroom use. That is in spite of the fact that the Elite Media has pulled out all the stops to make people believe support is strong and growing for men being able to use women's bathrooms. Just the opposite is actually true if you believe these results. Click here to go to the original source to read the rest of the story.
