In the quadrennial marathon to see who can be the nation's worst governor, Colorado's Bill Ritter is in a full sprint. On Thursday, Ritter signed Senate Bill 200 which expands "anti-discrimination" law to cover sexual orientation, meaning not only homosexuality or bisexuality, but also "transgender status or another person's perception thereof."

The bill is so ripe for abuse and creates so much risk for private business that it's no surprise the ordinarily media-hungry Ritter signed the bill late in the afternoon (too late for most newspapers to cover the story) with no fanfare (although he frequently has bill-signing ceremonies and particularly for measures such as this which have received this much media attention). It isn't even mentioned on his Web site, whereas a look at the page shows that he routinely issues press releases on bills he signs into law.

Today the substitution of the term gender for sex signifies our declaration of independence from biology as well. Begin with Genesis, and you are on a logical track that leads to the conclusion that our sexuality reflects God's purpose for our lives. Begin instead with Darwinism, and fantastic as the suggestion would have seemed to Darwin or Huxley, you are on a logical track that leads ultimately to the transgendered son.
