The Religious Right has been predictably outraged over a new transgender-inclusive policy in Massachusetts that is designed to prevent gender identity-discrimination in schools and so it was only a matter of time before Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber weighed in, which he did on a recent radio program where he compared being transgender to a Caucasian child deciding that he is really an Asian child or a person deciding that they are a horse and wanting to run in the Kentucky Derby.
“The [LGBT] chain is only as strong as the weakest link,” Barber declared, and “this transgender notion is absolute absurdity. It’s a weak chain to begin with, but it’s the weakest link in this LGBT alphabet soup of nonsense”:
Is this really the sort of bigoted rhetoric with which Tim Tebow wishes to associate himself?
