Han blev "identitetsvänsterns" fiende när han missförstod lite kanadensiskt lagförfarande och vägrade erkänna att han fattat fel. Plus lite annat. Han har gjort sig själv till deras fiende. Han är dessutom lite offerkoftenörd i frågan och båda sidor vägrar sluta tjafsa om det.
Det råder delade meningar om den lagen.
Greg Burt, with the California Family Council, testified against SB 219 yesterday, a California bill that will punish any nursing home employee who refuses to use transgender pronouns. Fines for repeat offenders could be as high as $2500, with a jail term of up to a year.
"Those proposing this bill are saying, 'If you disagree with me about my view of gender, you are discriminating against me,'" Burt told the Assembly Judiciary Committee on July 11, 2017. "This is not tolerance. This is not love. This is not mutual respect."
"How can you believe in free speech, but think the government can compel people to use certain pronouns when talking to others, as this bill proposes," Burt asked. "Compelled speech is not free speech. Can the government compel a newspaper to use certain pronouns that aren't even in the dictionary? Of course not, or is that coming next?"
"True tolerance, tolerates people with different views," Burt told the legislators. "We need to treat each other with respect, but respect is a two-way street. It is not respectful to threaten people with punishment for having sincerely held beliefs that differ from your own."
The Bill passed with no one voting against it. Voting yes were Assembly members: Chau, Chiu, Cristina Garcia, Holden, Kalra, Maienschein, Reyes, Mark Stone, Ting. No voting at all were Assembly members Kiley and Cunningham.
The bill author is Senator Scott Wiener and the bill sponsor is Equality California. For more information about this bill go to
