Kansas City, Mo., protects expressions of gender identity

Post by DonnaT »

The Kansas City, Mo., city council voted to extend antidiscrimination laws to protect expressions of gender identity. Council member Beth Gottstein, the measure's primary sponsor, said that though she expected some resistance, it was time to pass the measure.

Today, well this evening, Friday, April 4, the "O"Reilly Factor" had a segment on the "gay life style" trying to "mainstream" by having cruises made up entirely of those of us with "alternative life-styles."

Then you have Oprah with a show and a pregnant man married to a trans man!!!

There is hardly a day that goes by any more that something our of "the mainstream" isn't being discussed or shown. Ain't it great!???

I am beginning to wonder just what is "mainstream" any more!? =D>

My definition of mainstream = dress and make-up wearing camo dressed, hunter-gatherers that will eat most whatever is put in front of them then replace their lipstick while still sitting at the table and bitchslap the hell out of anyone that happens to get in "our" face!!! Oh and we probably drive a pick 'em up truck with a gun rack!!!! =D> It's called "GIRL POWER!!!"
