I've filed this post under my "hard to believe" category. Can a state legislature be so stupid -- so insane -- as to insist that all public bathroom facilities be open to both men and women? Not only that, but violation of the law comes with a fine up to $5,000 penalty and up to a year in jail. We live in crazy times, folks. Truly unbelievable.
Dr. James Dobson over at Focus on the Family issued a press release last night and discussed the issue during the first five minutes of his radio program today. Here is his press release regarding SB 200 just signed into law by Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter:
Dr. James Dobson over at Focus on the Family issued a press release last night and discussed the issue during the first five minutes of his radio program today. Here is his press release regarding SB 200 just signed into law by Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter:
“Who would have believed that the Colorado state Legislature and its governor would have made it fully legal for men to enter and use women’s restrooms and locker-room facilities without notice or explanation?
“Henceforth, every woman and little girl will have to fear that a predator, bisexual, cross-dresser or even a homosexual or heterosexual male might walk in and relieve himself in their presence. The legislation lists every conceivable type of organization to which this law applies, including restaurants, bathhouses, massage parlors, mortuaries, theaters and ‘public facilities of any kind.’ Those who would attempt to protect females from this intrusion are subject to a fine of up to $5,000 and up to one year behind bars.
“This is your government in action. It represents a payback to Tim Gill and two other billionaires who have essentially ‘bought’ the state Legislature with enormous campaign contributions. Coloradans deserve better!
“And by the way, because of the way this bill is written, it is not subject to the initiative process. There is no recourse.”
