Update
on Transgender/Homosexual issues On Tuesday, July 14th an extreme Transgender
Hate Crimes Bill will be presented in the
Massachusetts' State House for a public hearing.
This bill will add Transgenders as a protected
group under the law while providing them
with rights and liberties that not only infringe
upon the general public but also endanger
women and children. Similar
yet less extreme bills have passed in 13
other states already, for the most part20without
public awareness. Maine is one of the first
to feel the effects of these new laws; A
young boy sued his public elementary school
for not allowing him to continue using the
girls restroom, after biological girls began
to complain. Last week it was reported that
he won the case due to the new laws in place.
The school will now have to allow biological
males into female restrooms. Press Bangor Daily News for more information. Also a Denny's
in Maine was sued for not allowing an adult
male into their female restroom.
Please review the
facts of HB 1728 Act Relative
to Gender Based Discrimination and Hate Crimes This Bill will
- Add a new protected group
into Massachusetts law titled Gender Identity
and Expression.
- Define Gender Identity or
Expression as a gender-related identity,
appearance, expression, or behavior of an
individual, regardless of the individual assigned sex at birth.
- Massachusetts General Law
will be rewritten to insert Transgender Identity
and Expression every place it speaks of protected
groups such as race, sex and religion.
- Create a Transgender Commission
under the Massachusetts government with no
less then 25 state employed members to focus
solely upon advancing Transgender rights
and issues within the state; including within
schools and la w.
How
will this bill effect me?
- It will open all single
sex spaces such as locker rooms, bathrooms,
and shower houses in all public locations,
including schools, churches, gyms and hospitals
to both genders. This law will legislate
that any opposition to the entrance of these
biological male or females into the opposite
sexes spaces would be considered discrimination
and a hate crime. Bathroom Info
Link
- It will define Transgender
Identity and Expression so vaguely that there
would be no hope of any prosecution for someone
who is misusing the law, in regards to pedophiles,
etc. How can you legally assess or judge
a persons inner gender conviction when there
is no basis on biological facts or physical
manifestation?
- This bill will criminalize
all written information negatively speaking
about or portraying transgender. As written
"Whoever aids or incites such distinction,
discrimination or restriction, shall be punished
by a fine of not more than twenty-five hundred
dollars or by imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both size="3">RESPONSE We
are bringing this to your attention not simply
to inform you but for you to act.
The times
command a response! We challenge you to respond
in prayer and in action by allowing your
life to embody your prayers.
1) PRAY
- For residents and non residents we urge you to pray that HB
1728 would not pass. If this
Bill is passed it will effect each one of
us and our children.
As we
have seen with Massachusetts legalizing same
sex marriage in 2004 it is now going state
by state. We must resist and oppose this
bill now.
2) ACT
- For residents of Massachusetts your
presence and voice is desperately needed!
See details below.
Tuesday July
14th the Massachusetts Judiciary Committee
will be holding a Public Forum at the Boston
State House to hear the opinions of Massachusetts
residents regarding this bill. They are looking
to public opinion to decide whether or not
this bill will be good for the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.We are urging
you to lay hold of this opportunity, take
the day off and come speak truth into
this matter. Boston State House
24 Beacon St,
Boston, MA Gardiner
Auditorium 1pm - 5pm
(Be prepared
to stay much later. Last year testimonies were heard
until 11pm)
< br> Also prior
to the Public Forum MFI (Massachusetts Family
Institute) will be holding a meeting for
residents to hear from legislatures who oppose
the bill and talking points for the day.
If you cannot make it that day we
encourage you to contact your local Representatives
to let them know your thoughts on HB 1728. Links for more information-
-Text of Bill - including links to current law
and commentary on each section.-For
a comprehensive look at this bill and its
effects please go to MassResistance.com
that is necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund
