The same ones who demand we accept what many consider abnormal behavior, mock and ridicule those who have religious beliefs. Why should Bruce Springsteen be lauded for exercising his personal beliefs, but bakers and florists must be penalized and bankrupted? I hope he gets sued by the concert promoters, vendors who had already purchased goods to sell and folks who lost money beyond the ticket, such as nonrefundable airline fares or hotel deposits. What about minimum wage workers who were going to have a job at the concert which they desperately need? I don't give a flying fig about Springsteen, Bryan Adams or any other self-important so-called entertainer.

Their life, their choice. I've had a homosexual - business partner, accountant, employee, and good friend (four different people). I went to a homosexual wedding @ 25 years ago. (The marriage did not last when the 'wife' decided they wanted to be straight.) <br /><br />I still don't much care what the LGBT community does when left to its own devices. My problem is that they have become fascist in their mandates. The demand that all of our bathrooms change to fit their agenda is merely the latest absurdity.

Now he's just another wailing boutique Progressive of the pajama-boy establishment. Sad. (I'm currently re-writing "Born in the USA" to reflect this)<br /><br />This, BTW, is another example of why Trump is so popular. (The establishment GOP is already folding on this nonsense) Could it be that Trump is the Springsteen of the post-modern era?<br /><br /><b>As for the bathrooms & showers: </b>Barely a generation ago, was not the feminist mantra that anything that could possibly in any way make any woman feel vulnerable or "uncomfortable" (like an off-color joke) be considered “harassment”, immoral, and be made illegal and actionable? How far we’ve come from that today, where they're now arguing that any guy who doesn't completely "identify" as a hetrosexual male should feel free to pop into the women's showers. <i><b>Feel "uncomfortable" yet ladies? If you do, now you’re the ones with the morality hangup.</b></i><br /><br />Establishment feminism jumped the shark almost two decades ago when contrary to all previous rhetoric on such behavior, it went all-in to defend the presidency of an obvious misogynist, and likely sexual predator. (Today, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/08/us/politics/gloria-steinem-madeleine-albright-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">what’s left of it is going all-in to support that President’s wife</a>, the woman who ran a vicious attack machine against her husband’s accusers; again clearly contrary to the “all victims should be heard and believed” rhetoric of the sisterhood she now boldly proclaims)<br /><br />That whole sad episode exposed what many of us had known for quite some time; that establishment feminism was no longer about the interests of women, but had devolved to being little more than a political arm of the far-left. After having lost all street-cred post-Clinton, what was left of establishment feminism found refuge (and stable employment) in academia, where it started to build a new political base around a LGTBQWERTY-based agenda. So now we get 51 flavors of "gender" that all must be accommodated lest there be cries of "discrimination!".<br /><br />I've got a stopwatch running for the first rebuke of my comments on this as the product of "straight privilege".<br /><br />BTW, something on "rights": A "right" is <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=inalienable&oq=inalienable" rel="nofollow">inalienable</a>.

And I agree that Springsteen's protest is stupid- if he really wants to make a statement, why doesn't he appear in North Carolina and sing a new protest song intended to effect change? Genuine artists try to change the world by <i>confronting</i> it with their art - not running away.<br /><br />@George in Houtx- Even when laws against sheep-shagging are banished, the practitioners will still find themselves taking it on the lamb.<br /><br />@Fred Ciampi- Excellent point about bringing in refugees from places that are entirely intolerant of the LGBTEIEIO crowd, and not all that crazy about indoor plumbing in general. <br /><br />@Emmentaler Limburger- Lawsuits should definitely be flying on this. And I can't imagine that the people who had concert tickets are going to be pleased with "The Boss" (who should perhaps now be called "The Piss" owing to his strong feelings on the matter).<br /><br />@REM1875- You piss in an Australian-themed steak house?! (grin) And regarding libs who promise to leave the country if so-and-so candidate wins, I agree that it's time we start having them sign legally binding documents that will make their exile official.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- There's nothing wrong with popularism in the right context (I'm a sucker for old Frank Capra movies), but the hue and cry over bathrooms is just <i>stupid</i>. Piss off, indeed.<br /><br />@Liberty Card- I agree that three restrooms should be enough to sort everything out. Hopefully those selecting "other" would be <i>enlightened</i> enough not to be judgemental of whoever else is in there.<br /><br />@Geoff King- Brilliant! We already know that those on the Left want the government to Pamper them...<br /><br />@Boligat- I think labeling a door "It" will be seen as insensitive and dehumanizing. How about "He," "She," and "Whee!"<br /><br />@idahobob- As I said in my comments, I'm a gay rights advocate and any theological issues aren't in my bailiwick. That being said, public bathrooms aren't about 51 forms of sexuality, they're about doing "number one" or "number two" and having a reasonable expectation of some privacy while in the act.<br /><br />If I have access to a stall with a door, I don't much care who's in the next cubby. We're all God's chilluns and sooner or later we've all got to go.<br /><br />@Anonymous- Just be careful about going in the door that says "want one"...<br /><br />@Bruce Bleu- You've still got Bruce Banner, Robert the Bruce, and Bruce Wayne holding up your name's honor. Although now that I think of it, "holding up your Bruce" sounds like something you'd do to keep pee off your wingtips.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.com
