Survey: Largo unfair to Stanton

"The fact that he was a transsexual and planning to have surgery had nothing to do with his brain," said retired teacher Clifford Aldrich, 69, of Largo, who watched the meeting on television. "I saw an awful lot of intolerance and prejudice among the people in the audience, and it rubbed off on the commission."

Moreover, four out of five residents said they would accept a boss or someone they supervised who had a sex-change operation.

This is a promising article. I was shocked at first to see the extreme prejudice and realised it was mostly coming from the churches in the area. How sad that a group of so called Religious followers of god seem to be the worst when it comes to pointing out the difference in other people and shunning them.

I found many of the comments below the article interesting as well.

I hope Ms Stanton has a legal case here in the mix.  Now that all this is in the open, it needs to be discussed publicly.  And a legal venue is a wonderful way to do it.
