Being Found Guilty of 'Transphobia' Could Cost You $250,000

In the last few days and weeks, with relatively little public fanfare, radical legislation was enacted in New York City and Washington State to protect the rights of those who identify as transgender — at the cost of everyone else. And when I say "cost," I'm not exaggerating.
In New York, violation of these new laws could cost you up to $250,000 for a single offense.
What exactly do these new laws do?
Rather than give you a lot of legal jargon, I'll give you some practical examples.
Let's say you own a gym where men and women come in to work out and get in shape.
A man comes in — at least, to all appearances he's a man — but he proceeds to enter the women's locker room to change.
You approach him and say, "Sir, I'm sorry, but you're going into the ladies' room. The men's locker room is across the hallway."
He replies, "First, I'm not 'sir,' I'm 'ma'am.' Second, I have the legal right to use the locker room that I identify with, and I identify as a woman."
If you refuse to refer to him as she/her, you have broken the law and could be fined.
If you refuse to let him use the women's locker room, where the ladies are not expecting a biological male to be changing, nor are they expecting him to shower naked in the stall next to them, you have also broken the law and could be fined.
What if you decide to ask for proof that this man really identifies as a woman? Perhaps he can produce a letter from a doctor saying that he has been diagnosed as transgender and has been undergoing hormone therapy for the last two years? Perhaps he has had sex-change surgery, at least in part?
Sorry, friend, but it is illegal for you even to ask for such proof.
That's how crazy the new laws are.

American Airlines is fed up with the TSA and taking matters into its own hands

Airlines have had enough of the recent chaos at airports caused by understaffed Transportation Security Administration checkpoints. American Airlines' chief operating officer, Robert Isom, said that executives from all the major US carriers met with the head of the TSA and the US Department of Homeland Security last week to air their grievances over the situation. Isom wrote about the meeting in a letter to employees, dated May 18. "Two words: TSA lines," Isom wrote in the letter. "Right now those words evoke frustration from all of us, as well as our customers who continue to miss flights due to lines that are literally out the door." /

House divided: Members get unruly after vote on LGBT issue It sounded more like a rally or a cheer at a football game than official business conducted on Capitol Hill. Chants of “shame, shame, shame” by Democrats broke out in the U.S. House of Representatives Thursday when pro-LGBT legislation was struck down. GOP lawmakers defeated the measure, by a small margin, which would have nullified a provision in the defense authorization passed in the House Wednesday. It stated religious organizations that receive federal contracts can’t be discriminated against. /
