MSNBC did a short piece on a totally insane law being considered in Arizona. It would state that you must use the public bathroom that's consistent with your gender on your birth certificate. It would be a misdemeanor to break this law, punishable by fine or imprisonment for six months.
Jeezus fucking Christ. Who would be insane enough to think up something like this?
Every time you think the hopelessly demented can't get any crazier, they do.
And no, this is not a piece from The Onion.

I've walked into the Jane and found a drag queen here and there. Hey, you gotta go when you gotta go and unless they pee in the sink because there are no urinals, it's OK with me. I've never seen any of them do that, the tuck requires privacy to undo and readjust so they use stalls, it's just the principle of the thing.
It's better than having them risk assault next door in the John.
