Oh boy, oh boy. oh boy. The prevailing insanity just scored another victory.
ZitatPORTLAND, Maine (AP) — School officials violated state anti-discrimination law when they would not allow a transgender fifth-grader to use the girls' bathroom, according to a ruling by the highest court in Maine that's believed to be the first of its kind.
The family of student Nicole Maines and the Maine Human Rights Commission sued in 2009 after school officials required her to use a staff, not student, restroom.
"This is a momentous decision that marks a huge breakthrough for transgender young people," said Jennifer Levi, director of the Boston-based Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders' Transgender Rights Project after the Maine Supreme Judicial Court's ruling on Thursday.
The court concluded that the Orono school district's actions violated the Maine Human Rights Act, which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, overturning a lower court's ruling that the district acted within its discretion.
The ruling is the first time a state high court concluded that a transgender person should use the bathroom of the gender with which they identify, according to GLAD. Federal courts haven't taken up the issue.
Students at the southern Maine high school Nicole now attends stood up and cheered when news of the ruling was announced, said her father, Wayne Maines.
This gender identity confusion is so ridiculous. Put too much emphasis on individuals and their rights and you end up with this crap. As usual this confusion is brought into our world by the decision of the courts, a single judge, interfering in moral issues where they have no basis to decide, other than this concept of equality.
Any decision cannot be based on the morality of homosexuality. That's not something they can judge. A judge can only decide if this person is being treated equally. And since they are not, they are being treated differently, then the judge makes a mess of our Country.
This moral confusion is where you end up when you allow a society to base its values solely on equality and not morality.

A recent poll asked if it was fair for a restaurant to exclude children?
Yes, absolutely. 64% It depends on the restaurant's atmosphere. 26.78% No, paying customers should be allowed to bring children along. 9.22%
So while only 9% felt it wasn't fair to exclude children, what will the judge say based on equality as the legal measure?
