Pride Month

To be honest, I've never understood how so many people claiming to be humble Christians can claim national pride, but that's a topic for another blog.  Today, I'm going to be openly politically incorrect.  I'm coming out with my free speech and freedom of the press, while it still formally exists.

The gay issue truly does seem to be a huge political agenda, what with a pride month now.  Remember all the comments that same sex marriage won't affect any heterosexuals?  If I were a betting woman, I'd bet the farm that it will affect all of us.  It's already affected a businessman in Colorado.  Colorado doesn't even recognize same sex marriage, but a local judge has ruled against the businessman.  Tricky, huh?

In 1995 I was in San Francisco for a conference and got a little preview of what was coming to America.  San Francisco was openly embracing the gender issues that have since been introduced nationwide.  People literally came up to me and said, "You're so different . . ."  Someone actually asked to touch my hair, as they reached out doing so . . .  San Francisco was a very unusual experience for me, in general, but something happened specifically that was an eye opener.

 Have you noticed three restrooms in some stores now?  There's a women's a men's and one that indicates unisex or family . . .  The hotel I stayed in, in San Francisco was historic but refurbished and the restrooms were very nice, but there were three in the lobby.  It was the first I'd seen three restrooms like that, together.  I knew service stations often had only one restroom, making them unisex, but I hadn't seen this particular situation before.  Each door had a different sign.

I naturally chose the women's, but it was locked.  Assuming it contained no stalls and was designed for single occupancy, I opted for what I thought was the unisex bathroom.  I walked in there and to my surprise, it was quite large and contained stalls . . . I entered an empty stall, and thought little more about it, until I came out to wash my hands.  I'm a fairly tall woman, but the others in there were quite tall, with perfect make-up and they were looking at me, curiously.  The awkward feeling that came over me, was undeniable.    

It then dawned upon me, that I had misunderstood the sign.  

As I see these signs more and more, now in my neck o' the woods, I'm sure the reason assumed or even presented is for safety.  Single parents of opposite sexed children, have the option to not send them to the bathroom alone, but discernment says otherwise.  The option to take your kids into the restroom with you or stand right outside the door has always been there.  I don't believe we are looking at an option, but signs the gay agenda is gaining ground.
