No government can force a teaching that one will not teach. There are choices to make and we are to follow Him and not them in what we do teach. Jesus promised us troubles for following Him so what should we expect?

First off, I enjoyed your satirical, disrespectful article. I found it very offensive and it made me laugh. I know, I'm weird. I wanted to comment on " This means that female employees would have to endure both systematic sexual harassment and a hostile work environment by being forced to share bathroom facilities with any male employee who got his jollies from wearing a dress."
Well, I did work with someone who was very obviously a man in a dress. When he/she walked into the bathroom the other women ran out making negative comments "isn't that a MAN?!" I saw the pain on his face- very real pain. He had a lady's name, lady's clothes, boobs, and a decent figure. He wasn't even an ugly man. Heck, for all I know he was a masculine looking woman. Where was he supposed to go to the bathroom? The men wouldn't let him in there. In fact, they might beat him up or even kill him. The women, according to this article, were being sexually harrassed by him being in the lady's bathroom. I didn't feel harassed. He dreaded going to the bathroom. But this was his payment for being different? This is what he must endure for CHOOSING to dress like a woman? Are we, the Christian community, so arrogant as to say that we must persecute every person for living a lifestyle that we don't agree with? Yes, he dressed like a woman and yes, according to the Bible we must have very distinctly different looks. But is this any reason to torture him like that? He's not even a Christian. He has much bigger issues then wither or not he wears a dress. I, by the way, had lunch with this person nearly every day while we shared an office. No one else would, and I felt called to be his friend. I never once spoke about his masculine chin or occasionally lopsided boobs. And he never once complained about my witnessing to him because I was the only one who embraced HIM without making fun of him, rediculing him or persecuting him. I'm not saying that we are to embrace their sin, but I think that God was able to minister to him much more through me as I showed love and compassion to him then if I showed hate and hostility.
and before anyone think I am advocating tolerance without recognizing sin, read my blog.
