A Texas pastor said this week that he was willing to go to jail to stop an anti-discrimination ordinance in Houston because the “wicked” lesbian mayor had effectively given LGBT people “superior rights” over everyone else.

During a Monday interview with Christian broadcaster Rick Wiles, Houston-area pastor David Welch lashed out at the city of Houston for subpoenaing sermons and other materials related to a lawsuit that churches filed against the city over an ordinance that extended equal protections to LGBT people. The city eventually agreed to drop the request for sermons from the subpoenas.

“The big issue that we rallied everyone around pretty clearly was that [the ordinance] imposed specific protections for transgenders — those gender-confused — to be able to go into whichever restroom they wanted to,” Welch said. “So any man who simply declared himself a woman that day could go into a woman’s restroom and the business could do nothing about it.”...

“You’re just dealing with the gaystapo of America,” Wiles quipped, adding that even megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen had blessed Houston Mayor Annise Parker when she was sworn in to office.

So what about gay Christians?

4. So ...

I've always wondered what the flack is about allowing a transgendered person using the restroom of the gender for which they identify. What do these objectors suppose a transgendered person is going to do in the restroom? Well, I think the answer to the second question is ... use the restroom.

The big issue that we rallied everyone around pretty clearly was that imposed specific protections for transgenders — those gender-confused — to be able to go into whichever restroom they wanted to,” Welch said. “So any man who simply declared himself a woman that day could go into a woman’s restroom and the business could do nothing about it.”...

Isn't this more about the "straight" male than the transgendered person? I suspect the transgendered person has about as much interest in "scoping out" or soliciting a restroom user of the same sex that the transgendered person identifies, as the preacher has in "scoping out" or soliciting a male restroom user.

Hey, maybe THAT is the real problem?

12. I really wonder what they think people do in a bathroom.

I'm pretty sure that they have some extremely disturbing thoughts regarding this issue.

14. They really are obsessed with

Bathrooms and what goes on in them. I suspect they'd be pretty disappointed at how dull it is.
