Urinary panic strikes Maine

Ah, urinary segregation.  The moment at which, according to Jacques Lacan, we learn whether we are boys or girls.  Do you go into the room with the icon of the person in pants or a skirt (so we also learn the sartorial signifiers of sex and gender as well).   And of course it's a perfect system of sexual socialization: because everybody has to pee, everybody has to choose a gender.  But just one.

Now, according to the Christian Civil League of Maine, those crazy "homosexuals" and their "homosexual agenda" are trying to destroy this basic foundation of gender difference.
