We never do anything until someone gets hurt.

I recently saw this title:

"HOUSTON MAYOR FORCES ALL TO OPEN GIRLS ROOMS TO MEN"

for an article on http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/05/28/Houston-Mayor-Forces-All-to-Open-Girls-Rooms-to-Men. 

This, and other, sites are following closely, though not always impartially, what the mayor has been commenting in regards to a cause so close to her heart. But as a woman with no children can she really claim to have in mind what's best for Houston without taking into account the very valid fears of many parents?

After 911 airport security went crazy all over the country and people claimed that, had preventative measures been taken earlier, our nation could have avoided that catastrophe, but we didn't. Now we have the chance as citizens to put our concern for our fellow persons' well being into action before someone decides he feels like a woman, dresses like one, then has an empowering man moment when he sees a little girl entering the bathroom unsupervised and has a moment alone with her. We never do anything until someone gets hurt. 

I'd like to challenge you, no matter what your background, ethnicity or sexual orientation is, to consider your fellow humans and their safety AS WELL AS your own when voting for things like this. One person can ruin it for the whole lot. If we don't look out for our own kids, who will? Certainly not the government, they've got their hands full with all these kids from other countries whose parents so unceremoniously dumped on us and have no intentions of being the loving family their kids need. 

So what do you think about the gender-neutral restroom issue? Is it even an issue for you? Let me know what you think. Post a comment below. 

Much love.
