Comparing some benign cyst to the mutilation done by gender reassignment surgery is not accurate... now, if you had your shoulder cut open and inverted so it bends the opposite way then maybe they could be somewhat comparable. Taking perfectly normal male genitals slicing it open, inverting it and tucking it inside…

Then hormone therapy is not a necessary medical treatment for a male prisoner like Bradley Manning.

Gender reassignment surgery is not necessary medical care for a prisoner.

That's one of the things I have a problem with... if he felt this way his whole life then why did he lie to himself and enlist in the military knowing that they do not allow transgender people in the military. It seems to me that he enlisted for the sole purpose of making a name for himself as a so-called…

Bradley Manning has been convicted so he is a criminal.

Are you implying that every convicted person who is serving prison time is been kidnapped by the government, or do you due you just feel that about queers like Mr. Manning?

Anybody who wants to intentionally mutilate and deform a part of their body has a mental disorder, isn't this disorder clinically diagnosed as "gender dysphoria." Just because it's a disorder doesn't necessarily make it bad. Though such extreme "treatment" protocols, like surgically mutilating your own genitals, for…

Do you disagree that Bradley Manning committed a treasonous act and has a serious mental disorder?

HE should have been executed for HIS treasonous actions and then we wouldn't have to hear about HIS mental disorder where HE doesn't like HIS penis anymore and wants to mutilate and deform it into some wannabe vagina like orifice.

More like they are demanding special treatment and considerations.

Straight white guys accept that when a business doesn't want to make something for them they will just go to another business that will. They won't get their knickers in a twist and claim discrimination and then threaten to sue.

That's not the gay way though... they must throw a fit and demand the business cater to their specific wants and desires and threaten to sue when the business says they don't make things like that.

Maybe your born gay, but acting like a queer and crying like a sissy whenever you don't get your damn way is certainly a choice.

According to the business owner, they've had harassing and threatening phone calls as a result of this situation.

To some people, yes they would... they'd have to print whatever the customer wanted printed.

Protected class or not, they can't force a business to make something the business has a policy against making.

What is so hard to understand about this... they aren't refusing to serve a minority, they are simply refusing to produce certain kinds of things they find offensive.

There is no violation of the federal constitution when a company says they will only produce certain kinds of products. If a gay man went to a vegan restaurant and ordered a hamburger would he sue the restaurant for discriminating against him when they tell him they don't make hamburgers?

They aren't denying service you twit... they are simply refusing to produce certain types of things they find offensive.

Why are queer folks so quick to sue any private business that refuses to produce the exact product they want produced? Why not just take your business elsewhere instead?
