Message: <blockquote data-quote="donner" data-source="post: 4243150" data-attributes="member: 277">wait wait wait, we should govern now by who might be offended? That seems like a bold statement. And not all Christians were offended, nor are offended by transgenderism. It might be shocking to know that there are people who are both transgender and christian.If you were a comedian and offended that many people you probably aren't good at your job. Or maybe you're great at it. But then again, go back and listen to some old comedy and it's clear that we've grown far too sensitive. Or simply what some old Mel Brooks movies. Classics, but probably offensive today.And you're right, i haven't argued that it was proper, nor have i attempted to. But i'm not offended by a date on a calendar being symbolically declared to acknowledge an issue i do not face, even when it coincides with an -ever-shifting date established thousands of years ago that has religious symbolism for me.Was it proper? I think that reasonable people can acknowledge that multiple things can happen at once. But again, i'm still lost on the actual religious objection.And in case anyone was wondering, along with the day of visibility, also issued were A Proclamation on National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, a Proclamation on National Donate Life Month, A Proclamation on Cesar Chavez Day, A Proclamation on National Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month, A Proclamation on Arab American Heritage Month, A Proclamation on National Public Health Week, A Proclamation on National Child Abuse Prevention Month, A Proclamation on Care Workers Recognition Month, A Proclamation on Month of the Military Child, and A Proclamation on Second Chance Month.Oh, and yesterday was A Proclamation on World Autism Acceptance Day.</blockquote>
