I'd like to masturbate in that guy's house while no one's home, then tell him about it, but not say where.

The question isn't which bathroom transgender people should use. It is why still allow segregated bathrooms at all.

After investigating, it's not even a quote from him. It's from an article in some journal that he had no part in editing or writing.

He was president of the org that published it. So he likely supports what the journal said, but didn't write it himself. Source:

I always wondered what that 80's sounded like. Mike Pence gave me that insight.
OneOfThesePicklesMaySaveYourLifeOneOfTheseDays
I thought there was no way he could have actually said that....so I looked it up. I have no words. Simply horrifying.
WowSoSparkly
And as usual, by gay he means dudes, and by dudes he means butt sex. It's always about the butt sex.
OneOfThesePicklesMaySaveYourLifeOneOfTheseDays
He seems unusually interested in what other guys are doing with their butts
thornprick
I know right, with homophobes it always seem to boil down to "Ew, but poop comes out of that hole!"
Mudguard
Hate to 'defend' him but if he said that 30 years ago it was probably a lot more in tune with the times. Horrid but reality back then.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
He's got a pretty solid reputation for homophobia right up to the present day...
zeusdemigod131
Right, because old men get less prejudicial with time. That's why my uncles hate my Asian friends!

I don't get it. Is it okay when blood donation centers cite this as a reason to not accept blood from gays, but not okay when Pence says it?
dontcallmeplath
One is making life and death decisions; one is making far-reaching policy. The average citizen isn't making daily blood to blood contact.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
The Red Cross along with pretty much every blood donation organization wants the FDA to overturn the ban on gay men.
leekyfaucet
I and most of my crunchy friends hate the blood donation rule. It promotes stigmatization of homosexuality and creates a double standard.
leekyfaucet
Not to mention lowers the number of people who can donate blood unnecessarily!
gl0g
I doubt the portion of homosexuals that have a disease that would classify them as not able bodied is significant.
packasmacks
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/ Actually, came across some stats. Pretty sure you can't join the military with HIV, not able bodied.
gl0g
According to that link, roughly 11% of gay and bisexual men have HIV, which means that the wast majority are able bodied.
packasmacks
1 in 10. That's kind of a lot.
packasmacks
I doubt there are accurate numbers to prove it either way, the point is, his statement is not based purely in bigotry, as implied.

Unless he knows it to be true, then claiming it is pure bigotry.

packasmacks
The fact is that gay men, statistically, there are obviously many exceptions, have been known to be more promiscuous and spread more STDs.
gl0g
Neither means that any significant number are not able bodied.
packasmacks
It doesn't, and I don't agree with it in the way that part of it is used, but the entire sentiment is not made up.

You absolutely cannot say that something has "statistically" "been known" to be true and not post a source.

As a conservative as soon as I heard the bathroom issue my first response was just to go unisex. And lockerooms? Here is your stall, enjoy
wyatt8740
I think it'd be best if ALL new bathrooms were made unisex because a) we might keep them cleaner and b) it'd get people over this bullshit
memberwar
If you were REALLY a conservative, you'd realize spending on a non-issue is just partisan BS and you'd vote fiscal responsibility: Democrat.
BroseidonKingOfTheBros
The bathroom issue is the least of what republicans have been pushing for. HB2 in NC was framed as 'the bathroom bill' because that looked

They're ramping up the bathroom bills though. Many new bathroom bills require what is on your unamended birth certificate, no exceptions.

There WAS NO PROBLEM until republicans (government) decided to make it a problem. Republicans are the government doing the dictating.

DarkCrawler901
But they can't handle it just fine, that is the whole problem.
packasmacks
Yes, they literally can. States have the power to pass state legislation. If you don't agree with their decision, contact state officials.
packasmacks
Petty issues like these do not need blanket federal laws. State and local government can better adapt laws to their local citizens.
DarkCrawler901
May sound like a "petty issue" to you but not for the people concerned. Rights and wellbeing of kids are not "petty issues" either way.
packasmacks
It's definitely an issue that is not black and white. There boundaries that need to be set by state and local government.
packasmacks
If the state wants to let anyone use any bathroom they want, they can, if they want to make the person get a doctor's note, no problem.
whycanttheygetgirlfriends
States are laboratories of backwardness. I would rather renounce my American citizenship than ever visit MS, AL, AR, LA, KY, TN, TX, or OK.

And it's perfectly okay for you to hold that opinion. You'd get along a lot better than you think with most people in those states.

As an Arkansas resident, our main two problems are needing to tax the Waltons instead of the middle class and fix the damn roads.

Unless it's abortion, then the federal government should handle it!
BigSnicker
Or marijuana. Then states rights are bad!
MidiArbite
That's a human rights issue. Namely at what point in development does a human have rights and how is the conflict between rights handled.
packasmacks
Abortion is a much more delicate and complex issue. It really depends on whether or not they consider the fetus a human being with rights.
strider7
Why are people down voting this lmao, perfectly reasonable claim
packasmacks
Because some people legitimately think that anyone who isn't pro-choice is a sexist.
Mudguard
Most terminations of pregnancies are done in embryonic stage. No fetuses there.
packasmacks
And most people are fine with that, the debate usually arises when they get to 14 or 20 weeks and develop a functioning brain and organs.
packasmacks
Like I said, it's not black and white. It's a complex issue. People pretend the only two options are all abortion or no abortion at all.
iwould
I'm sorry that you got down voted for pointing out exactly what the abortion issue boils down to. Go take an ethics class people. Fuck.
CitizenDickbag
And the bathroom issue is only trivial if you don't think trans persons are human beings.
packasmacks
That's a ridiculous statement. You can have an opinion on the bathroom issue without thinking trans people aren't human.

I would argue the personhood of a foetus is irrelevant. If one can't be forced to donate a kidney to save a life, one can't be forced to

Debts are owed to family, can't leave a kid to starve after it's out so we ARE obligated to support a developing human.

If a fetus is considered a person, you cannot kill it. It's not the same as forcing someone to donate an organ in cases of consensual sex.

I really don't have time to argue this issue all day,especially not with 140 character limit, but it's really not black and white.
billismcwillis
Yeah, unless it's Marijuana, because they were looking for something to waste money on while claiming to be fiscally responsible
packasmacks
Ultimately, it's not the president's decision, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with in the legislative and judicial branches.
packasmacks
I don't and never will support Marijuana being schedule 1. But you have to realize that it's both sides voting to keep it illegal.
packasmacks
Obama didn't legalize it, but as far as I know, Trump's stance is to leave it up to individual states' decisions.
billismcwillis
He changed his position: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/23/politics/white-house-marijuana-donald-trump-pot/
MidiArbite
Hopefully he just means people shipping weed out of Colorado to states where it's still illegal. Though the pres does need to enforce law.
billismcwillis
And while I agree the schedule needs to be changed, as the head of the executive branch, enforcement is absolutely up to the president

He's remained staunchly supportive of medical marijuana, telling Fox News host Bill O'Reilly he was "in favor of medical marijuana 100%."

"In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state," he said in Nevada in October 2015.
