Activists getting weird

Sun., May 8, 2016

Today I just read that there are anti-LGBT activists of the American Family Association “checking” the bathrooms at Target to test its policy. Men from this group are dressing up as women and trying to get into the women’s bathrooms posing as a trans person.

Doesn’t anyone find it a bit odd that since they can’t find any of the criminals they say are prowling every public toilet in the land, that instead they attempt to commit the crimes to prove they are a real problem?

I don’t have any children, but if I did, I would be worried about that child coming into contact with a member of the American Family Association. From what I can see, that’s currently where the majority of the weirdos are coming from.
