About that rape at the Stonewall Inn… isn’t the LGBT bathroom agenda supposed to make us all safer?

A transgender man said he was raped Saturday night in the
"unisex" bathroom at a landmark homosexual bar in Greenwich Village.
The transgender man, who dresses like and claims to be a woman,
was believed to be "heavily impaired" by alcohol and/or drugs,
according to the New York
Post. The suspect is a regular at the Stonewall Inn.
Security video shows the suspect following the transgender man
into the single-occupancy bathroom, and the two coming out eight minutes later.
The transgender man called 911 and was taken to the hospital for
treatment.
Transgender activists have been fighting a culture war to
eliminate natural male/female gender designations from society. Facebook now has 58 possible gender identifications,
while The Living Rede lists at least 63 gender combinations.
As if in lockstep, the Obama Administration is pressuring cities
and businesses to establish unisex restrooms and make intimate facilities wide
open to all genders. Mayors of major cities such as New York and Seattle have obeyed Caesar, making all public
facilities transgender open by executive fiat.
The Obama Administration even went so far as to redefine
Title IX school funding to
economically force even elementary schools to let biological boys
use the girls’ toilets, showers, locker rooms.
All this in the name of the transgender person’s “safety” and
“well-being.” (And, of
course, the men’s acceptance as women, and vice versa.)
And yet, creating “unisex” bathrooms and transgender-open
showers and locker rooms welcoming the opposite sex has not resulted in greater safety for
anyone. Canada’s transgender-affirming
laws can increase incidents of women being attacked by men in restrooms. Concerned Women for
America’s Donna Miller, in researching Canada’s transgender laws, found they
actually endanger women, not protect them. And in the United States,
women have been killed in bathroom attacks.
It is ironic, then, that when liberals are fighting for
transgender men not only to be affirmed as "women" in every sense
(including legally, and biologically), including fighting for those men to have
the "right" to use women's toilets and showers for their safety, that a “woman” is
raped in what is supposed to be a safer facility.
Here we have the Stonewall Inn, the recognized and honored
pinnacle of the gay/liberal agenda, the holy grail of homosexuality,
transvestitism, and transgenderism, following the liberal line with unisex
bathrooms, and a "woman" is attacked.
The moral of the story is that changing the signs of your
bathroom from "men’s" and "women’s" to "unisex"
does not protect anybody.
"The bottom line here is that men should never be allowed
to enter women's restrooms," Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for
Truth About Homosexuality, told LifeSiteNews. "The LGBT Lobby is now
trying to tug at our heartstrings regarding men supposedly being victimized
just because they want to go to the bathroom.”
"But the real victims of the radical pro-transgender agenda
are women and girls, who deserve to feel safe and comfortable in the private
spaces of female restrooms and locker rooms,” the moral leader said.
"Once again we face the prospect of our entire society
being turned upside down to appease the unnatural demands of less than one
percent of the population,” LaBarbera concluded. “Let us hope that reason
and common sense prevail, and our lawmakers do not capitulate to activists who
would put our wives and daughters and grandmothers at risk to achieve a
distorted vision of 'equality' based on gender confusion."
The Stonewall Inn is considered the birthplace of the modern gay
movement. Run by the New York Mafia without a liquor license, a major
riot began there on June 28, 1969, after plainclothes New York police officers
raided the bar on morals charges.
Homosexual men, many dressed as women, come to the bar that
night after hearing of the raid and began pelting police with bottles, slashing
police car tires, and attempting to overturn cars. The homosexuals were
joined by the Black Panthers, and anti-Vietnam war protesters. They broke
windows and attempted to set the Inn and police ablaze.
Sporadic violence continued for days. As a result, the
"Gay Liberation Front" was formed. On the first anniversary of
the Stonewall riots, June 28, 1970, the first ever "Gay Pride" public
parade was organized.
In his second inaugural address, President
Barack Obama honored the Stonewall riots, saying its aims are an integral
part of American “freedom."
“It’s a very disturbing incident taking place in a site that’s
very important historically, where something good happened,” New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasiosaid.
"To see a violent incident like this is very troubling.”
Two New York politicians are working to designate the Stonewall
Inn as the first
national park honoring LGBTQ history.
