Blithering Bigots Notice LGR's Work On Behalf Of ENDA

There comes a point where one has to laugh at the blatant bigotry regarding a particular issue.  Right now, Reverend Ted Pike is aghast and horrified at the idea of women using women's locker rooms and women's restrooms.  Oh wait, he is aghast and horrified at the prospect of transwomen using women's locker rooms and restrooms.  Of course, realizing that he is on the losing end of the debate regarding bathrooms, which is part of ENDA, incidentally, Pike went on a tirade regarding transwomen using women's locker rooms.

Actually, Reverent Pike is actually not blithering about transgender protections being bad or immoral, but rather anything that destroys his perfect little fictional Christian world.  In a rant that is as antisemitic as it is homophobic and transphobic, Reverend Pike goes on to accuse the Anti-Defamation League of pushing "sodomy so hard in every level of society," as if one really needed a homoerotic image to, well, drive home the possibility that Reverend Pike is just another George Rekers.  Of course, he believes that "In all this, ENDA ignores the possibility that the civil rights of children, teens and college students might be violated by intrusion of lechers into their showers."
