Fayetteville, Arkansas, Passes LGBT-Inclusive Nondiscrimination Law

[joeybee12]

During a city council meeting that lasted well into the early hours of Wednesday morning, leaders in Fayetteville, Ark., passed a measure that would establish LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination protections.

Fayetteville is the first city in the state to pass a nondiscrimination law that bars discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, according to a report by NWA Online.

The council approved the measure in the early hours of Wednesday morning in a 6-2 vote. The meeting lasted for nearly 10 hours, and more than 100 community members spoke before the council and hundreds packed in the Fayetteville City Hall, according to the report.

The law’s passage comes despite robocalls by 19 Kids and Counting’s Michelle Duggar, asking residents to oppose the measure because she claims it would allegedly endanger women and girls in public restrooms and other facilities. In the robocall, Duggar said the ordinance would “allow men — yes I said men — to use women’s and girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only. I don’t believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls.”

Michelle Duggar is a dumb so and so.

1. Well, she has a reason to fear sex

since she's so fertile and it always results in another damned kid coming out 9 months later. I guess she'd rather have a trans woman beaten or worse by being forced into a men's room than have to catch a glimpse of a penis through the crack in the door of the ladies'.

And you know she's the type who looks through those cracks every single time.
