Now
remember, it's only here in the RockyMountain state for now. But,
if they get away with it here all kinds of interesting people may be sharing
the rest room, with you, in yours state as well. More importantly they will be
in there with your kids. Here is the pull quote.
"...sexual predators can be expected to use
this law as "cover" as they search for their next victims — in any
public bathroom they come across.
This is what you get from the left in this country. To heck with our kids safety,
they have there immoral agenda to ram down the throats of us narrow minded
people here in fly over country. Let’s not give the sexual predators another way to
get at your kids. Contact that idiot Ritter and let’s stop this thing.
Here is the story from CitizenLink.

All 'public accommodations,' including restrooms,
would be opened to men, women, bisexuals, transsexuals and
transgendered individuals.
The next time you visit Colorado, you may run into members of the opposite sex when you use a public restroom.
Under a bill sitting on Gov. Bill Ritter's desk, all "public
accommodations" must be open to men, women, bisexuals, transsexuals and
"transgendered" individuals.
Senate Bill 200 adds religion and sexual orientation to state
nondiscrimination statutes. Supporters claim the bill will prevent
discrimination; in reality, the bill endangers religious freedom by
opening the door for the state to punish any person or organization —
including small and home-based businesses — that refuses, for religious
or other moral reasons, to offer or sell goods or services to
homosexuals, bisexuals, 'transgendered' and transsexual individuals.
Focus on the Family Action began airing radio ads today to inform Coloradans about this over-reaching bill.
SB 200 would apply to all "public accommodations" in Colorado —
including gender-specific public restrooms in shopping malls, movie
theaters and churches, and public locker rooms in athletic facilities,
which would suddenly be required to permit equal access to men, women
and cross-dressers. Churches, mosques and synagogues would be exempt.
"With SB 200, we no longer have two 'sexes,' " said Bruce
Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action. "We enter
a brave new world with a myriad of 'sexual orientations.' This bill,
unfortunately, is in keeping with a national effort by 'transgender'
advocacy organizations to accomplish an open-bathroom policy."
Hausknecht
said sexual predators can be expected to use this law as "cover" as
they search for their next victims — in any public bathroom they come
across.
"SB 200 threatens public safety and tramples religious freedoms," he
said. "This bill needs to be vetoed and sent back to the Legislature
with instructions to come back next session with something that all
Coloradans can be proud of."
