MD Lawmakers Pushing 'Transvestite Protection Act' Again

A citizens group that unsuccessfully fought a Montgomery County, Md., plan to create "coed showers" by protecting cross-dressing possible sex offenders who gain access to women's locker rooms by alleging they are "transgendered" has issued an alert that Maryland residents need to contact their state lawmakers now or the plan could be imposed statewide.

The state's HB 235 would prohibit discrimination based on "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" with regard to housing, leasing property and "in the provision of certain services or facilities."

Officials with the NotMyShower.com website, who organized when Montgomery County was considering its own plan in 2007 and 2008, said there are a number of problems with the idea.

First, it would force "individuals, employers, religious institutions, roommates, schools and public accommodation facilities to ignore reality and disregard a person's legitimate 'assigned sex at birth.'"

That would include alarming circumstances that could develop because of the ready access it could be interpreted to provide to males who want to invade the privacy of women's locker rooms and restrooms, they said.

"In Montgomery County, women were afraid and outraged when a man in a blue dress went into female locker areas in a health club," the organization explained. "He would have been protected under this proposed law."

The alarm is being issued now by the organization Parents and Friends of ExGays and Gays because the state legislative proposal, thought to have been abandoned, suddenly is surging forward in the law-making process. A hearing is scheduled tomorrow.

"The Maryland legislative session ends on Monday at midnight. Despite promises by Senate President Mike V. Miller that HB 235 would stay in rules committee, it passed to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.

We are told that they plan to pass this radical bill despite public outcry in the last few days of the session," the organization warned.

Ha,
Ever since Obama became " KING OBAMA" he and Congressman Barnie Franks have came out of the closet with their cross-dressing ideas and they have O'Malley in the same closet. The Roman Government in part fell due to those activities of " girl(BOYS)just wanna have fun" so part of the destruction Obama has for us is noted in this article. Ha, you glad now you voted for this clown?

reality has become over sexualized
who cares about bathrooms and locker rooms
if you are worried about sexuality in your bathroom habits or states of undress perhaps YOUR the latent pervert
navigating the world clothed or unclothed has little to do with sex and if it does in your mind than perhaps you need to ask yourself
sounds as ridiculous as animal Muslims that cloak everything that might tempt them
human beings need to grow up and get over these sacred notions that are nothing but natures prime directives......guess what.....most people are not attractive or as desirable as they assume they are.....Its delusion...who cares and who is looking

What is wrong with the leadership in the state of maryland. This has absolutely nothing to do with Obama. It's a bunch of elected politicians doing exactly what they want to do despite the voters outrage. They have given illegals a free educations. Now this. Why don't they just call maryland the state of babylon sodom and gommorrah.
