3rdnlng Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 http://www.gopusa.com/freshink/2014/11/24/message-to-cleveland-women-theres-a-man-in-your-bathroom-get-used-to-it/?subscriber=1 A fine for complaining? Women and men in the city of Cleveland will soon be charged with $1,000 criminal fines for voicing a problem or discomfort about a person of the opposite sex using their restrooms. This also goes for businesses that express customers’ uneasiness over a person of the opposite sex visiting the inappropriate (or non-traditional) restroom. Cleveland schools must abide by the ordinance. Cleveland’s recently proposed and reviewed “transgender-inclusion bathroom and locker room ordinance” is not the first of its kind, as Houston and numerous other cities have also visited or enforced measures that award local residents the special right to use whatever facility they choose, regardless of their natural gender. City officials behind the new law argue that those opposed to the ordinance need to wake up and adjust to the so-called going trend of society. As key sponsors of the “public accommodations” section of the legislation affecting private businesses, Councilmen Matt Zone and Joe Cimperman stress that the new law was created to grant transgender people the choice to visit any restroom they choose to cater to whatever whim they have — regarding their gender identity issues. "This is common sense legislation, and it's long overdue," Zone asserted, noting that the ordinance does not mandate businesses to provide separate restroom or locker room facilities or signs warning unsuspecting visitors. "We're in the 21st century, and it would allow Clevelanders to feel comfortable in their own environment and to use facilities that they're most comfortable with." Yes. let's make the tiny percentage comfortable while disregarding the feelings of the vast majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This ordinance should last about 12 seconds on judicial review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
