Ok, now that is just sad.
Given that, just for some reason I have a tendency to think those two no vote people will come under fire for that bit of reason.

I'm not disappointed because this is exactly the outcome I expected. I hope that the future Ms. Stanton can get a job at a terribly run city or town and then turn it around to prosperity and popularity.
The best revenge is living well.

I'd bet a lot of money that the people that voted to fire him were Chrisitan and Republican.

Well, we know a lawsuit is almost a certainty. That will get a lot more public attention and unfortunately we need that. The more we are seen as regular people the less discrimination we'll face.
Overall I feel this will be a positive thing and we'll see things changing for the better.
I'll be interested in seeing if Florida adds transgender to it's non-discrimination laws.

One small bright spot -- Susan can probably, if she wishes, start her RLE.
I wish for her that this turns out to be the worst spot in her transition, and that everything from here on out is better.

Two thoughts:
What goes around, comes around. (usually faster than you thought possible)
Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. I hope their fair city has a nice insurance policy, cause they probably just bought Ms S. a trip to Thailand.
The more they try to plug the dike, the faster it crumbles around them.
