Well this is an odd story, but I should share it.
Yesterday I met up with a well known person who is publicly anti LGBT anything, especially with regard to marriage and trans bathroom issues. Quite by accident. But hey, it's New York and stuff happens in NYC. But somehow I managed to keep my cool through all of this until... well, it gets better.
So we struck up a conversation. We talked about where I live etc. Then he said, "so Garrett is your congressman?" I said, "yes, and he's pissing me off to no end."
He said, "how come?"
I said, "He says the GOP shouldn't look to recruit gay candidates. Why won't they get it? The democrats are killing them with this."
He said, "well, you can't really deny the bible and the word of God, you know. This country was founded on a strong pillar of faith."
I said, "Well, I'm a Christian, and I believe that God said we should love one another - and that includes gays and transgender people. Everyone. "
I said, "you know, what really pi**es me off? The fact that people can't get over the fact that transgender people can't use the proper restroom. I mean what is that about?"
Then he says, "Listen. Let's say you're in the bathroom, doing whatever. Then all of a sudden a big strappin' dude like, oh, I dunno, Bruce Jenner walks in. How are YOU going to react?"
And I literally stopped, stunned... I said, "okaaaaay have a nice day, sir." And I walked off.
