Christian Family Coalition Trivializes Gender Identity and Self Expression

Miami-Dade Commissioners Audrey Edmonson, Bruno Barreiro (prime sponsor), Sally Heyman, Barbara Jordan and Rebeca Sosa have sponsored a resolution to provide for bathroom accommodations throughout the county for gender identity and/or expression.  In essence, this allows the transgender community access to private facilities.  This already exists in many establishments by providing for Unisex/Family Bathroom facilities and this ordinance would make the availability more uniform.

LGBT Hater Anthony "Executioner" Verdugo

However, no good deed goes unpunished so here comes Anthony Verdugo, Christian Family Coalition leader, at it again persecuting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual (LGBT) community. It's  appropriate and somewhat ironic that Anthony's surname "Verdugo" translates into "executioner" in English.  He really belongs in the times of the Spanish Inquisition not 2013.  At a time of greater diversity and inclusion one would think the Christian Family Coalition would concentrate its efforts on eliminating poverty in the county.  A county who's median income tops $44,000 per year for a family of four, yet also tops the nation as the leader of luxury car sales according to Miami Today News.  Yes, a lethal mix of narcissism and unrealistic aspirations that's bankrupting our region.  That would be a worthwhile effort but not sensationally news worthy enough.

LGBT Hater Fred Phelps

Anthony's fixation with the LGBT community and it's struggles for a seat at the table of civil rights has come to define the very essence of his organization. So much so the organization is now employing scare tactics falsely claiming the Miami-Dade Commission wants to pass a "dangerous law that will force all places to open bathrooms and dressing rooms to transexuals. (men who allege they are women, and women to allege they are men. If one objects they will be fired, sued or fined!" Fred Phelps from the Westboro Baptist Church would be proud of Anthony "Executioner" Verdugo as he follows closely in his footsteps.
