Does the law say they have to be transgendered?
Or does the law just allow any individual to use any restroom he or she wants to and when they want to with no questions asked?

Bingo. One doesn't have to show their transgender id card.

"One aspect of the law enables transgenders - those who were born one gender but identify with the other - to use public restrooms in which they feel most comfortable."

This says absolutely NOTHING about enabling people to use whatever bathroom they want. It specifically says it is for those who are transgendered.


The part that is protecting the gays is in housing situations.


Seriously, y'all need to read what the article actually says and not jump to conclusions just because Dobson says something against it.

Dude ... does one get a transgender id card w/ this law?

As it reads it allows for all males and all females to use the others accomodations.

One more HOGWASH and I am going to give you the award for the day, Dan.

You obviously don't know much about transgendered people. They live their lives completely as the opposite sex they were born. There is a period of transition where it isn't too difficult to tell they are a man/woman dressed as a woman/man, but eventually the hormone treatments, breast surgeries, electrolysis, and voice training make it practically impossible to tell the difference.

It's much easier for a woman to make the transition than it is for a man because a woman on male hormones will grow facial hair and her voice will deepen. Plus, they also have the option of using wraps to smash their breasts down so you can't tell they have them.

Men have issues with removing facial hair, learning female mannerisms, and dealing with things that surgery can not correct, like a deeper voice and the adam's apple.

On the contrary....all the more reason we need to jump into action as Christians and citizens.... It won't stop with that and you know it. And they are in the minority....I would expect the majority of the people are terribly upset also, but if we don't speak out against this, it will get worse and worse... And I will add that not all gays and lesbians are out to destroy innocent children and such, it's only the "sick" minded that are wanting to gets laws like this passed....

First of all, what up Sista? Haven't seen you posting in the last few days. You really missed some good stuff too. There's a Branham follower registered as a member now. Been dealing with that!


Also, I can understand some of your concern. I see others over reacting in a big way, saying men will just be able to walk into the ladies room and a bunch of other stuff like that that isn't the case at all. I agree with you that we need to be praying about the things happening in this country, but I don't see how we will be able to change anything. The Bible says this world is going to get worse and worse with time. We are seeing it happen before our very eyes. It's one more reason to rejoice over the fact that God's Word is true.

Hey brutha! Not much been going on! I have stayed away from the forum because it was just getting on my nerves....Anyway, I understand why you say we can't change things but I dont' understand people just sitting by and letting it happen! God did say that if His people would humble themselves and pray, He'd heal the land! God does not lie......it's the fact that His people aren't praying!

Tell the Mrs. I said Hello and I miss her!

You got a good point there, Sister, about praying.

It's pretty much too late to do anything about stuff like this, once a law actually gets passed and signed by a governor. It can always be challenged in court, but they'd have to find more than "it offends me as a Christian" for their arguments. They'd have to use the law to prove that particular law shouldn't be a law. The time to have stopped this law would have been when it was being debated in the CO statehouse, before it became a law. Where was Dobson with his phone campaigns then?
