Who's Rights Are More Important?

Okay, Colorado just passed a law making it legal for men to go into women's bathrooms and women into men's. You can read an article here:
http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=92754

Pretty much it comes about because the governor signed a law protecting people who are gay, bisexual or transgender from discrimination in areas including housing, business and education. The law also prohibits discrimination in "public accommodations."

The public accomodations part is what is giving people the right to use whichever bathroom they want, whenever they want, wherever they want. Even in the schools.

The proponents say that people should have the right to choose the bathroom they want based on how they see themselves, not as how the good Lord made them.

I ask, however, what about the rights of the other people in the bathroom? What about the people who want a bit of privacy from those of the other sex? Who don't want people of the other sex about while they are doing personal things?

Someone's going to be made to feel uncomfortable and feel violated? I guess the Colorado just decided whom they prefer to make uncomfortable.

Let's see... Colorado.

Isn't that where Ward Churchill is tenured?

Dunno.

But it is where Focus on the Family is located.

This will make a lot of people uneasy.

But those who are uncomfy will be labeled as "homophobes".

Great, eh?

Haters and Fanboys right.

LOL yeah, that!

But think of this, not only the pople in the bathroom will be nervous. How would you feel, Bro, knowing Scoot was using a toilet in a room where men were free to wander at any time with no one caring about it?

You think only gays and trans people (who would be completely harmless to the girls) are going to use this law to get into the girls' potty? How many pervs are going to use it to their advantage?

I got used to unisex bathrooms when living in France. But they're much more enlightened over there than we are y'know...

I am quite fine with allowing them to be more enlightened.

I know a bit of what goes on in the mind of a male, and I def know what goes on in the mind of a woman.

Enlightened? Hmmm . . . without taking into account the effects of a corrupt society, is it really "enlightened"? A good case could be argued for "ignorant".

I wouldn't like it one bit. And fury is unfathomable to the mother f***er that harms her. In any way. Now I realize that not every man in that situation is a petophile or a pervert, but I know men and Scoot is a good looking little girl. Ok, stop, I have had enough of what if on this.

*Goes off to my happy place and thinks of ice cream and ponies or something non violent like that*
