It would allow any man to dress like a woman and use any public women's restroom.
First, why would that happen? Second, what's stopping a guy from doing this now? Do they do random penis checks at the doors? And third, following this, what would be stopping STRAIGHT men from doing this?
Ladies, do you want that to happen?
Gay crossdressers invading their bathrooms? What are they afraid of, that they'll do their hair for them?
A man in a highly visible sales job could come to work dressed like a woman.
Gosh, if only employers were allowed to enforce a dress code to match their image...if a person is fired for coming to work dressed like Lady Gaga (man or woman) that's one thing. If they're fired because it's discovered that he dresses like a woman in the privacy of his own home, or as a part of his stage act, that's a whole other.
A person of either sex who indulges a taste for extreme sexual promiscuity and pornography during working hours could not be stopped or fired even though it damages the company's image.
Ah, no, if a person can't behave appropriately, and uses company internet time for inappropriate purposes, gay or straight, that is grounds for dismissal.
Maybe, worst of all, this ordinance would allow a man who teaches a second grade class or any grade to show up as a woman in the classroom and the School District could do nothing because of this ordinance.
Again, an disobeying an employer's dress code is grounds for disciplinary action. If you fired him for doing Babs for a cabaret act, that's a whole other kettle of fish, though.
@Zacherie Haakenson
you people understand what you are saying.
That a person has the right to live his or her life as he or she sees fit as long as it doesn't harm another. And no, harm to your delicate sensibilities does not count.
saying that Dr. Jerry Prevo does not know what he is talking about.......
Most definitely, yes.
really how old are you?
27 as of yesterday, thank you.
I don't believe you are a doctor much less a very respectable person like he is.
First, he is a doctor, perhaps, but he is speaking on a legal issue. Not even close to the same thing, as he illustrates as he doesn't have the slightest clue on how the laws would interpret anti-discrimination legislation. Second, I doubt he has even met a gay person in his life, as he seems to confuse homosexuals with cross-dressers. Not the same thing. Third, he seems to feel what a person wears is grounds for dismissing them as dregs of society...not a very respectable trait.
So to whom ever started this bash on my paste.....why don't you take you and your pansy little band wagon and shut up since you are obviously a play ground bully who is not happy with your self and can never be so you have to cut down others.
Actually, I'm quite content with myself. It's people who try to force me to be someone I am not who meet with my less pleasent side. Translation: push me, and I push back.
Remember what your mommy said and if you don't have some thing nice to say dont say any thing at all.
I'll remember these words when people like the Phelps clan start screaming about how God hates fags, and all the wonderful things you guys tend to say about us. You guys love taking pot shots at us, well guess what? You better be thick skinned enough to take some return fire.
