BB - I agree. People with gender identity issues should be discriminated against and should not be allowed equal access to housing. Does Dr. Dobson have any prescription to Treat and Prevent this?
BTW - you seem to spend A LOT of time thinking about these things

Someone stepped up to the plate! :) What about my receptionist hypothetical? I think it's an interesting issue? What would you do?
I spend a lot of time thinking and talking about a lot of things. :) The fact that many of these things come up during our legislative session every year, and is routinely plastered all over the media, helps a little too.

it's not that complicated - interview the person and decide if you want to hire them or or not based on their skills and/or if you think they would be a good fit within the culture of your organization.
Why do gay and transgendered people scare you so much?

I think it's very complicated. We're not talking about a homosexual necessarily. We're talking about, among other things, "gender-related appearance." Like it or not, a person's appearance matters a great deal to many. Someone posted an article a while back about the relationship between looks and income. Definite correlation.
I think if this gender definition was limited to homosexuality, it would be much simpler. But gender-related appearance? I'm not even sure what that means. A guy who looks like a girl?
Never said I was scared of "gay and transgendered people."
