Transgender-Inclusive Restrooms Equal To Prostituting Your Daughter (VIDEO)


Pediatric Psychologist and evangelical author James Dobson said on his radio program that the trans-inclusive public restroom policies are a violation of biblical teachings. He said that it is equivalent to parents prostituting their daughters.

Dobson is the founder of the Christian conservative group Focus on the Family (FOTF). It is an organization that advocates the promotion of religious conservative worldviews on public policy issues such as divorce, abortion, child education and LGBT rights, according to Right Wing Watch.

FOTF’s stated mission is “nurturing and defending the God-ordained institution of the family and promoting biblical truths worldwide.” In line with this, it has several ministries focusing on spiritual and temporal concerns of its members and public in general.

The organization has several radio programs and it also uses multimedia to promote its advocacy.

In one of his broadcasts, Dobson has invited Janet Porters of Faith 2 Action on to his “Family Talk” radio program to discuss the issue of transgender-inclusive facilities in public places. During the program, Dobson has compared the pro-LGBT policies to parents selling their daughters to prostitution.

He said that policies on transgender-inclusive bathrooms are violating a specific Levitical prohibition:

“Let me share a Scripture with you all that I came across that speaks to this issue. It’s addressed directly to parents, I think. It’s Leviticus 19:29. Listen to this: ‘Do not degrade your daughters by making them a prostitute or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness.’ That comes right to the heart of this. It sort of feels like that’s where we are. We’re taking our little, vulnerable kids and we’re saying in the name of political correctness, ‘Here are our children. Do with them what you want.’ And I’m here to say that I’m going to fight that as long as I have breath in my body.”

Conservative Christians like Dobson always have their way of imposing outdated beliefs on modern society. Outdated beliefs such as these is among the main reasons our society has a hard time of coping with real problems.

These beliefs lead to violence and extremism, such as the recent terrorist attack in a Target bathroom in Illinois.
