Voters in Montgomery County, Md., will get to decide if gender confusion warrants special rights, thanks to a petition organized by the Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government.
The petition opposes the newly passed gender-identity bill, which provides special privileges to people with gender-identity confusion — including access to restrooms and locker rooms. The privacy and safety of the county’s 500,000 women and children could be at risk. The law is on hold until the November vote.
Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government collected 32,000 signatures to let voters decide the issue, more than the 25,001 required.
Jeff Johnston, gender issues analyst for Focus on the Family, applauded the grassroots effort.
“For the county to mandate that businesses and individuals accommodate gender confusion is to cooperate with deep-seated spiritual and psychological brokenness,” he said. “While we have care and concern for those who are at war with their God-given gender, it is wrong for the county to encourage those individuals in their brokenness.”
