GOP Rep. Louis Gohmert’s not merely a bigoted moron, he’s also really pervy.
It’s a day in America and therefore time for another Republican to make a sexual reference worthy of incredulous under-breath mutterings of “ew, gross.” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), a vile, nasty, little man bearing a strong resemblance to a ball-mount-trailer-hitch, reckons y’all ought to know he’s not merely a bigoted moron, he’s also really pervy.
First, I should apologize for using the term “ball-mount” above. You’ll understand why as you read what Gohmert told Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in an April 7th
radio interview :
When it comes to this current legislation where — in most of the world, in most of the religions, the major religions, you have men and you have women, and there are some abnormalities but for heaven’s sake, I was as good a kid as you can have growing up, I never drank alcohol till I was legal, never to, still, use an illegal drug, but in the seventh grade if the law had been that all I had to do was say, ‘I’m a girl,’ and I got to go into the girls’ restroom, I don’t know if I could’ve withstood the temptation just to get educated back in those days.
Really Louie? Did you mean to say that out loud?
It’s fairly apparent that Gohmert did a fine job resisting the temptation to “get educated.” He’s clueless in his stated defense of North Carolina’s
new transgender bathroom law which invalidates a Charlotte ordinance providing legal protections to transgender individuals who would simply like to use the restroom of the gender with which they identify, thank you very much.
Gohmert’s “boys will be boys as long as they’re not being girls” logic is one massive steaming pile of inanity in which he both describes himself as a man who thinks nothing of violating a woman’s right to privacy in order to live out some “Porky’s”-inspired fantasy, and dismisses out of hand the discrimination faced daily by transgender individuals. “Pretending” to be transgender in the hopes of maybe, possibly, perhaps getting a peep at some sweet lady bits in a public restroom would be an A+ dick move in the grade book for anyone with a hint of conscience.
It does make one wonder, however, what Guber and the Wingnuts imagine goes on in a public ladies room. On second thought, let’s not venture too deep into repressed-Christian-culture-warrior headspace for fear of permanent synaptic damage, but note that the ladies rooms I’ve frequented have had, almost universally, a row of stalls. With doors. That close. And lock.
HAWT, or what?
Gohmert does, however, make a compelling argument, but not one that favors preventing transgender individuals from being able to choose where they pee, but one that reveals an actual threat; conservative congressmen, a bit like Louie Gohmert.
Remember the Idaho Republican congressman
Larry Craig who was arrested for lewd conduct in the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport?
Or Florida state Rep.
Bob Allen who was picked-up in the men’s room of a public park after allegedly agreeing to pay $20 to perform oral sex on an undercover cop?
Or
Jon Hinson , congressman from Mississippi who was busted in a House of Representative bathroom with a Library of Congress clerk?
Or all the transgender individuals arrested for gettin’ all busy in all the public potties around the nation all the time? Oh, wait. Me neither, because it hasn’t happened, ever. The number of reported cases of
transgender people being arrested for misconduct in a public restroom remains, to date, a sum total of zero, leading me to the fair-minded conclusion that I’d rather pee with a transgender person than a republican.
In his interview with Perkins, Gohmert went on to say that organizations “telling states that you have to let boys into little girls’ restrooms or we’re
pulling our business , it’s just the height of lunacy.” Let’s ignore that Gohmert used the phrase “pulling our business” in the context of discussing his socially maladjusted adolescent desire to creep on girls in the bathroom, that he thinks allowing people to use the pisser in the
facility that best represents their gender identity as “the height of lunacy” is really the height of irony. The height of lunacy is how Gohmert equates the morality police with the tinkle police.
For real though, I think Gomer is just jelly; those transgenders have all the luck! They can just waltz right into the bathroom of their choosing and take a peek at anyone’s bits… and he can’t.
Although he would… if it weren’t, you know, illegal. Or a sin.
Because nothing says “defender of morality” like admitting the reason you’re not Pervy McCreeper is because there are rules against it.
That’s some top-shelf Christian morality there, Louie!
I’ll speak only for myself, but I’d welcome Gohmert into the ladies room any day.
I tend to enjoy a good giggle.
