How Sweet It Is

This one came in just under the wire I must say. It’s 11:45pm and I am just getting this weeks strip ready for publishing. I had some challenges with how to word this one, I didn’t want to offend, but by the same token, I think there has to be a line drawn at giving rights to one set of people while possibly endangering the safety of others.

I’m sure you have opinions on this one, so feel free to express them if you so wish!

New Hampshire Considers ‘Bathroom Bill‘

Last week, New Hampshire’s House Judiciary Subcommittee voted 3-2 to pass a bill that would open all public restrooms and locker rooms to people of the opposite sex.

Family advocates are concerned that by adding the words “gender expression” into the list of anti-discrimination laws, it will make New Hampshire’s public bathrooms a haven for sexual predators.

Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the government is failing to protect its citizens.

“These ‘bathroom bills’ provide the opportunity for peeping toms, pedophiles and sexual predators to walk into women’s restrooms and locker rooms unchallenged, upsetting and endangering women and young girls,” he said. This bill is simply an attempt to appease the GLBT lobby at the expense of the safety of New Hampshire’s citizens.”

Last June, Colorado passed a ‘bathroom bill,’ and shortly thereafter reports came in from women who were uncomfortable that men were using their restrooms.

Pennsylvania is considering a similar bill.
