By that, do you mean single-occupancy bathrooms? I’m all in favor of public spaces having at least one single-occupancy bathroom allowed. At my college, I was the RA of a dorm that had co-ed bathrooms. We had one single-occupancy bathroom, and it solved any and all potential problems.To annn: again, unisex bathrooms.
That works in college, but I was brutalized, mocked and beaten pretty much daily when I had to use the ‘other’ bathroom. The school did nothing about, did not care, until finally I was beaten so hard that I woke up in the nurses office 45minutes later. Even then I was suspended for a day, because apparently I managed to punch back at one point, though I have no memory of it.By that, do you mean single-occupancy bathrooms?

With osteoporosis? No, I can’t take heavy physical training of any sort. If I was to punch someone, I’d probably shatter my hand.pathia, this is unrelated to the topic of this thread, but have you been trained in any sort of martial art or self-defense?
I’m pretty much bed-ridden right now after a multi-week fight with meningitis, I’m not going to be throwing anyone around for months, if not ever again.It seems like learning to defend yourself might be prudent; I’m not sure if you’ve tried before and the extent to which osteoporosis restricts your movement. Not all self-defense systems and/or martial arts involve any striking! I suggest at least considering a non-striking (grappling/wrestling) martial art. They can really help lessen the damage done in a fight.
The reason that any and all parts of the gay agenda should be opposed is because the opposite of “gay unfriendly” is “straight unfriendly”. They want you to believe that their philosophy is live and let live but it is not.It’s not the government’s job to make laws regarding marriage, sex, or family life, unless there’s harm to another person involved. As for freedom of religion, there are many churches that are accepting of gay marriage, as well as some Jewish synagogues, so a religious argument holds no water.
Honestly, I understand why abortion should be made illegal. It’s a human rights issue; it kills babies. But gay marriage? Seriously? I’d understand if we lived in a Catholic country, but we don’t.
It’s substantially more than that, here are the student’s allegations below.As an example, in a case in a community college near San Francisco, an adjunct professor teaching genetics dared quote a textbook, while answering a question, that said same sex attraction was not purely genetic but also had environment factors as well. A student was ‘deeply offended’ by this, so the college board bypassed the collective bargaining agreement and all other due process safeguards and fired the instructor. They are now, of course, being sued
Pathia, the link you provided does not support any of the allegations you have made. Neither does the lawsuit Sheldon filed. Please provide the cite for your allegations.It’s substantially more than that, here are the student’s allegations below.
(1) That the professor referenced a study “that only used one mouse in the experimental group and one mouse in the control group. Not only that, the study did not explain how they determined the offspring were gay”,
(2) That Professor Sheldon said there are hardly any gay men in the Middle East because the women are treated very nicely,
(3) That there aren’t any real lesbians. According to her, women simply get tired of relationships with men and pursue them with women,
(4) That she addressed the men in the classroom, saying that if they want a “nice,” and strong son, they should treat their wives very nicely (do things like “open doors for them”). and
(5) that to conclude her lecture, the professor said, if the men wanted a “sensitive” son, the men should abuse their wives.

I suspect what I bolded was what raised the alarm.
Read the report by the university. There’s a link to the PDF on that page.Pathia, the link you provided does not support any of the allegations you have made. Neither does the lawsuit Sheldon filed. Please provide the cite for your allegations.
Hmm, the links didn’t show up until I quoted to reply.Read the report by the university. There’s a link to the PDF on that page.

Note: I think firing the professor given even this information is overkill, but there seems to be much more than her saying that it isn’t ‘settled science that it is genetic’ or something.
Did you even read what I said in the last post? I said it’s overkill even if its TRUE.I hope you don’t think that someone should be fired due to one allegation from one person.
Ah, so we are in violent agreement and I missed it?Did you even read what I said in the last post? I said it’s overkill even if its TRUE.
