Report Inappropriate Comments

Interesting how the outer limits of acceptable opinion on this, at least at the governmental level (as far as I have heard), is, "Yeah, we don't agree -- we want to exclude and discriminate and maintain one segment of the population's view of appropriate gender roles; we'd like to fight long-standing federal, constitutional law...but we just don't have the money to fight The Big, Bad ACLU for our holy right to exclude people and dictate how people should view themselves, each other, their identities, etc."

What's the big problem? Just make it parent-child dance, parent-child sporting event, whatever. Like apparently every other town in RI has done without devolving into a holy fury. Doesn't prevent anyone from continuing this tradition of daddy-daughter dances; doesn't exclude a soul. This is not good enough for far too many, apparently. They're such rugged individualists free from the need for the Nanny State that they get all pouty if the power of the state doesn't specifically back their own lil opinions to the exclusion of others. In the name of personal responsibility and freedom, of course. It'd be funny if people like Jessica Ahlquist weren't put through a meat grinder over such childishness.

Again, as with the banner issue, just more reaction against What Once Was (Falsely) Considered Universal rightly fading away. And it's about time, too.
