Kentucky Republican chairman exposes himself in department store bathroom.

A Kentucky Republican Party county chairman has resigned after he was arrested in Tennessee on charges of indecent exposure and resisting arrest in a department store, the GOP and police said. 

David Narramore, 54, of Whitesburg was arrested Saturday night in a Belk department store in Kingsport, Tenn., according to police there. 

A store employee told officers that he was in a bathroom stall next to Narramore when Narramore began rubbing his foot against the employee’s. Narramore then exposed himself to the employee, according to police. 

Narramore was escorted to an office, and when police officers arrived, he tried to “passively resist” arrest. After pulling away from and then moving toward officers, and then attempting to fight the officers, he was subdued with a stun gun, according to police. 

Narramore, a dentist, was taken to the Kingsport city jail.

Okay so here's my question.

Should we not have some law protecting ourselves from the possibility of being sexually harassed or assaulted by these Republicans?

I mean can't they get their own bathrooms or something.

Look, I am all in favor of treating everybody equally, but think of the children.

Should we really risk exposing them to these GOP perverts?

All I'm saying is there  should be a law. 

Footage surfaces of police demanding that a lesbian leave a public restroom for not presenting ID. (NSFW due to language.)

Courtesy of Complex:  

Footage has surfaced alleging to show police officers forcing an unidentified woman to leave a women's restroom facility, once again proving the dire impact of the recent swath of anti-LGBT laws across the country. The woman, reportedly a lesbian, is called "sir" by the officers as she's unfairly tasked with attempting to convince them she's a woman. The footage, uploaded to Facebook by Tamara McDaniel, has quickly garnered millions of views since first being shared last week. 

The officers are heard demanding ID from the woman, who reveals she doesn't have one on her. A male officer is then seen screaming in the woman's face as friends plead for the officers to properly deescalate the situation. These pleas, however, are instead met with hostility and repeated requests for an ID. Of course, this loudly begs the question: Why the hell should anyone have to show an ID just to use the restroom? The exact location of the footage, which made it to the Daily Star after surfacing on Facebook, is unknown.

Like the article says there is no indication yet as to where this took place though clearly it is somewhere in America.

I have to say that this really angers me since that could easily happen to my daughter who dresses in gender neutral clothes all of the time.

Seriously male police officers should have no right to enter a woman's bathroom and force that purpose out for no other reason than that they do not believe them to be female.

And if these anti-trans laws start to spread this will be happening with increased frequency and I guarantee that it will not simply be the LGBT community who is negatively impacted.

The Right Wing's new response to transgender folk using the bathroom is to enter them with guns at the ready.

I'm taking a Glock .45 to the ladies room. It identifies as my bodyguard. #BoycottTarget @Target

Anti-LGBT activists are taking the newfound role of “potty police” to the next level, pledging to carry weapons into public restrooms to “protect” against trans people using the bathroom that matches their gender identity. 

The threats came after retailer Target announced Wednesday it would allow transgender patrons to use the restroom of their choice. The policy is a slap at North Carolina’s anti-LGBT House Bill 2, which, among other things, bars transgender people from using facilities that correspond with their gender identity, if those are in government buildings; it does let private-sector companies set their own policies. In response to Target's action, at least two right-wing leaders promised to meet trans people in the bathroom — with firearms. 

The preliminary warning shot came from Anita Staver, president of the right-wing, anti-LGBT Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit conservative legal group — best known for representing defiant antigay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis — that recently told CBS News it is proudly pushing transphobic “bathroom bills” nationwide. 

 On Friday, Staver — who is married to Liberty Counsel’s chairman and cofounder, Mat Staver — sent out a tweet blasting Target’s trans-inclusive policy. “I’m taking a Glock .45 to the ladies room,” she wrote, before adding what appears to be a dig at the concept that someone could identify as a gender other than that they were assigned at birth.

If you don't think that this will not result in some poor person being shot to death in a public restroom than you certainly have not been paying attention to the news lately.

And what exactly would be the "offense" that earned some poor person the death penalty at the hands of a panicky homophobic gun nut?

Would it be for being too manly in the ladies room? Or too effeminate in the men's room?

Because if that is the case I know several straight non-transgender folks who are going to have to start wearing bullet proof vests before they tinkle in public.

Even during contentious child custody case Sarah Palin and Dakota Meyer find common ground. A bias against transgendered people.

I know what you're thinking, but no that it not Sarah Palin pictured above.

It is however a rather disgusting and homophobic tweet sent out by Curt Schilling which resulted in his dismissal from ESPN.

This apparently distracted Palin from her ongoing argument for the destruction of the arctic polar bears, and she posted this on Facebook in response:

ESPN continues to screw up.

This of course feeds into the completely fabricated Right Wing fantasy that transgendered people wish to use the bathrooms only to leer at their women and molest their children.

A fantasy that apparently Dakota Meyer also shares.

dakotameyer0317 People who are arguing for men to gain access to women's restrooms to me are absolutely failing to see the issue on many levels. I have a daughter and as a father it is my duty to ensure her safety and proper environment in which to grow up in. I will be damned if I am going to let a man, cross dresser or otherwise, go into a bathroom with her in it. Going into that bathroom the last issue he has to worry about is how comfortable it makes him feel. And had any taken into consideration the president this sets? Next is these same guys in the locker rooms with your daughter, your wife, or even you. Sorry but this doesn't fly with me. 

First off I am fairly certain that Meyer meant to write "precedent" and not "president," but what can one expect from a man who allowed his penis to get close to a Palin?

Secondly this argument feeds off of certain people's innate homophobia, and in fact it is no more likely that a transgender or transsexual man would molest a young girl in a bathroom stall than a regular bible thumping "straight" dude would molest a young boy in one.

Actually to be honest the second scenario is FAR more likely and there is ample data to back that up.

This is just another example of how easily intellectually stunted people are manipulated into hating and fearing people that they really have no reason to hate or fear.

Bernie Sanders informs Donald Trump that he too used the restroom during the Democratic debate on Saturday.

Courtesy of HuffPo:  

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday deviated from his usual presidential campaign stump speech on economic inequality to note that he, like many others, is perplexed by Republican candidate Donald Trump's latest attack on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. 

"I don't know how to break this to you. Donald Trump is very upset," Sanders told a crowd at a campaign stop in Council Bluffs, Iowa. 

"I don't know what his relationship with women has been like, but he has discovered that women go to the bathroom, and it's very upsetting for him."

Good for Bennie Sanders!

You know I also wondered about Trump's relationship with women since he seemed unaware that they had to pee.

Makes me wonder if Melania is not a fembot like the ones in the Austin Powers movie.

You have to admit, there IS a similarity.

In the meantime Hillary has finally responded to Trump's misogynistic comments: 

"I really deplore the tone of his campaign, the inflammatory rhetoric that he is using to divide people, and his going after groups of people with hateful, incendiary rhetoric," Clinton said in an interview with the Des Moines Register's Tony Leys on Tuesday in Fairfield, Iowa. 

"Nothing really surprises me anymore. I don't know that he has any boundaries at all. His bigotry, his bluster, his bullying have become his campaign. And he has to keep sort of upping the stakes and going even further." 

She added, "I don't respond to him personally, because he thrives on that kind of exchange. I think he has to answer for what he says, and I assume that others will make the larger point about his language. It's not the first time he's demonstrated a penchant for sexism. Again, I'm not sure anybody's surprised that he keeps pushing the envelope."

Yeah, I think that about covers it. 

This is just for my male IM visitors.

Yeah we've all been there.

I actually got jumped in a bathroom when I was in elementary school (The very first time I ever used my new martial arts skills in a fight) and to THIS DAY if somebody walks up behind me my bladder shuts down like somebody just flipped a switch.

My second wife used to like to have conversations with me while I was using the restroom, I would try to wait politely, but she wouldn't take the hint. So eventually I would get frustrated, at which point I would yell "there will be no peeing until the talking had come to an end!"
