I know that the folks at the Washington Times aren't down with the concept of equality for LGBTs, but are they passing the crack pipe around over there? I know it doesn't have a lot of credibility on several fronts, but it's like they want to cross over into SPLC hate group-worthy TVC territory with this editorial screed that starts right off with this vile bull->-bleeped-<-e:
"First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers undergoing sex changes. Religious broadcasters and faith-based summer camps should not be forced to hire cross-dressers. Women should not be forced to share bathrooms with people with male body parts who say they want to be females. Yet those are some of the likely results if Congress passes H.R. 3017, the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is due for a vote this week by the House Education and Labor Committee..."

Did I hear, "Normal children should not be forced to share classrooms with teachers who are religious bigots" anywhere in all this?
here's the original editorial...
EDITORIAL: Discrimination is necessary
Subjecting kids to weirdos undermines standards of decency
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers undergoing sex changes. Religious broadcasters and faith-based summer camps should not be forced to hire cross-dressers. Women should not be forced to share bathrooms with people with male body parts who say they want to be females. Yet those are some of the likely results if Congress passes H.R. 3017, the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is due for a vote this week by the House Education and Labor Committee.
ENDA purports to "prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity." Clever politically correct wording aside, this is a direct attack on common sense. On some matters, it is good to be discriminating. It is right to discriminate between honesty and dishonesty, between politeness and impoliteness, between right and wrong. And it assuredly is right to be discriminating in choosing who teaches our children. ENDA would make it impossible for a non-church-based charter school, for instance, to remove from the classroom a "she-male" who insists on exposing her pupils to her unnatural transformation.
"Weirdos" don't tend to force little girls into dresses without pants/shorts/tights underneath, and that should be more of an affront to "decency" than just about anything.
You do know what this paper is don't you? The Washington Times is a newspaper owned by Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, through its company News World Communications. The Moonies founded, own, and control this publication, and its not a newspaper so much as its religious/political propaganda for their (rather weird) religion.
