TRANSSEXUALS: Respect their rights

| January 27, 2016 8:00 PM

May God’s circle of love protect the transsexual men and women of our nation, and the world.

Transsexuals have the same First Amendment right to assemble, sing, speak, grieve, pray and march as other citizens of our country.

Whether they are transsexuals, Aryan Nation, Catholic, agnostic, Bahai, Islam or Mormon, they and us are equally protected under the Constitution.

Some locals tried to prevent Aryans from marching on our main street and got slapped down by courts for violating Aryans’ equal rights.

Some locals denied black Americans’ right to eat at our local restaurants and stay at our local motels until President Johnson’s civil rights law passed.

Some local opposed gay mated adult couples from marrying until gay marriages were ruled legal by our courts.

Their demand that transsexuals have fewer civil rights than all other groups in the USA is an empty, illegal, unenforceable demand.
