From the fine folks over at MassResistance:
March 4 State House public hearing on radical bills – a day-long propaganda campaign by homosexual lobby, with help from committee chairmen.
Hours of testimony from men in women’s clothes, women with beards.
Hearing started at 1 pm — pro-family people had to wait until 10:30 pm to be heard!
Transgender rights and hate crimes bill, out-of-state same-sex marriage bill, and more. Watch out, America!
Get ready for a big fight over the radicalization of our culture, our businesses, our schools, and our government.
Walking down the halls of the State House on March 4, 2008, the first thing one noticed was the bizarre sight of men in women’s clothes and women sporting beards. But that was just the beginning.
With the unabashed cooperation of the committee chairmen, the homosexual lobby completely dominated the public hearing of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary on the “transgender rights and hate crimes bill”, the out-of-state same-sex marriage bill, and other groundbreaking radical bills, putting on an orchestrated presentation that went on for hours.
The Committee did its best to silence pro-family voices by making anyone who checked off “opposed” on the signup sheet wait until 10:25 pm to speak –after nearly everyone had left, including the press. It was a huge burden, and most could not stay that long. People had jobs and families to attend to, and many came from across the state to testify. The committee was clearly not interested in hearing any opposing opinions. (The only exceptions: The committee did allow late afternoon testimony from two small pro-family panels that had made prior deals with the committee, and a pregnant mother who asked the staff to let her talk.)
Wave after wave of strange “panels”. Over several mind-numbing hours, pre-arranged “panels” of men dressed as females, bearded women, bizarre activists, and Frankenstein-like medical “experts” were called up and droned forth a steady stream of transgender propaganda, disinformation, and highly charged emotion. There was no time limit imposed on their testimony.
No rules at all. In fact, the Judiciary Committee broke almost every longstanding rule and custom regarding public hearings that we’ve observed in nearly 15 years, to cater to the homosexual lobby. It was an insult to citizens.
NO RULES: See our report on exactly what the committee did and didn’t do that day.
Restroom madness. We watched as a parade of men dressed as women going into the State House ladies’ restroom, and women into the men’s room – while inside the hearing the activists were unusually honest about their belief that transgender “rights” will trump the public’s comfort with their behavior. In her testimony, lesbian activist attorney Jennifer Levi (who works for Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders) made it pretty clear. As the homosexual newspaper Bay Windows reported:
Levi answered that there are many different paths to transition, some medical and some not, and that many transgender people who transition do not go through the process of surgery and hormones that most people in the mainstream associate with transsexuality. She added that public bathrooms have private stalls, so people will still have a sense of privacy. But Levi said the need to end discrimination against the transgender community outweighs discomfort that others might have when sharing facilities with them. “And discomfort should not be at the heart of the refusal to adopt non-discrimination laws that are essential to the citizens of the Commonwealth,” said Levi.

And here are all the crucial bills currently before the Judiciary Committee.
The homosexual lobby is putting all their energy to pushing this new radical agenda through. They are going face-to-face with the reps and senators. Here’s what Bay Windows reported after the hearing:
“The lobby team is working with Judiciary leadership and the committee members one-on-one to address their concerns and make sure they have the information they need to make a good decision. ..” said [Bill] Conley [Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus lobbyist].
Marc Solomon, campaign director for MassEquality, another organization working on H.B. 1722, said that the goal of the coalition is to pass the bill this year. Though it took about 16 years to pass the gay rights bill after contentious battles in the ’70s and ’80s, Solomon believes the transgender rights bill can move on a much faster track.
“It’s not a matter at all of the Legislature taking a long time with this. It’s on the shoulders of our community to make the case to their legislators about why this bill should move and move quickly, and ultimately that’s what will make it happen,” said Solomon.
This CAN be stopped!
Trust us, this can be stopped, and the good bills can get passed. But unless this committee — and particularly the two chairmen — hear from ALL OF YOU, the homosexual lobby (which represents a miniscule proportion of the population) will succeed, because the commmittee will think that think you don’t care.
