When it comes to bashing transgender people, there's a right wing tradition at work - and it's not about values

The right wingers at the Traditional Values Coalition just can't seem to get enough of demonizing and making personal attacks on members of the GLBT community.

Just this week, they fired off another one of their wacky and mean-spirited press releases aimed at the GLBT community. This one accuses Dana Beyer, a transgender activist (and one of HRC's Board of Governors, BTW) of harassment when she confronts anti-gay petition gatherers working to overturn the brand new Montgomery County trans anti-discrimination law in Maryland. They also posted a YouTube video of one of the "harassing" incidents - just don't blink if you watch it or you just might miss the moment that's got the right wingers all in a tizzy.
