Legislature Rep. Richard Floyd Warns 'People Will Marry Dogs, Cats and Horses'
Posted by Jeff Woods on Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 8:59 AM
All too predictably, the blogosphere is blowing up with the latest news from our state legislature: Rep. Richard Floyd’s bill to spare normal citizens the indignity of using the bathroom in the presence of transgender people.
“If anything, it’s making us a laughingstock,” says Marisa Richmond, lobbyist for the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition. “We’re talking about harassing people who are taking care of a basic biological function, and that’s all this does. My email inbox is lit up today. People all over the country are just shocked that this sort of legislation is being introduced. They’re using words like absurd, idiocy, discriminatory as well as obviously transphobic.”
In Montreal, they’re wondering if Tennessee is actually part of America.
So we were happy to watch Floyd’s interview with WTVF in which he explains himself. You see, he read a newspaper article about some Macy’s department store clerk (in Texas, he thinks) who was fired for refusing to let some transgender person into a lady’s dressing room, and Floyd is outraged over this, and he feels like beating up somebody, and there ought to be a law, and it’s all Washington’s fault, and humans will start marrying animals if we don’t draw a line in the sand right here and now.
“I’m just sick and tired of society having to adjust to every little alternate lifestyle or little whim of someone who thinks they’re different,” Floyd says. “We’ve got the tail wagging the dog. If things go in the future like Washington wants them to go, people will be marrying their dogs and cats and horses. We can’t continue to let society go down a slippery slope of depravity and survive as a society. We can’t do it.”
OK then. Why didn’t he say that in the first place?

Woods, do you have any proof that what Mr. Floyd saying is incorrect?!? Libtards are generally depraved people and will marry animals if they can legally do it! That's a well established fact! I think they already are over in the People's Republic of East Nashville!

"people will be marrying their dogs and cats and horses."
Sigh. No, they won't. Dogs and cats and horses can't legally consent to marriage, you big doofus.
How do you keep track of who uses which dressing room/ rest room? Do you have some oneone check out their "gear" before use?
Would he prefer people continue to fuck those dogs and cats and horses out of wedlock?
So sayeth the old white man who isn't trying to "impose" his "preferences" on anybody.
Lord, protect us from idiots like Rep. Richard Floyd and Angry White Patriot.
You are an idiot if you think an animal can consent to marriage by saying "I do". This is just ignorant hatred and bigotry. It should be a crime to waste tax payers money on this kind of blatant bigotry. Republicans are idiots and liars. They'll say any absurd thing, as a child does to get their way. Threatening violence towards trans people, PEOPLE, by saying" I'd stomp a mudhole in them" just shows what kind of morals this dumb hick really has. And, how dumb does the phrase "stomp a mudhole" sound anyway. What a dumb hick.
Angry White Patriot is a satirist who doesn't always tip his hand clearly. Or at least that's what I've always assumed!
PROOF that your state elections MATTER! I wonder how he's going to feel when all next week his office and bathroom is filled with transgender folks from open to close. Hell, I'm not transgender and I'm ready to go put on a dress and sit in this bastard's office to make a point.
it's not his fault. his mom and dad are brother and sister, he is used to tradition.
He also said that he would "stomp a mudhole in [them] and then stomp [them] dry," if they tried to use a dressing room his wife was in.
Because I expect our representatives to threaten vulnerable minorities with murder if they get too close to his family.
Issues of gender seem to bring this out in male politicians. Apparently they have some insecurities.
Shall someone inform him that marriage with aniamals cannot be done since consecration with such is already against the law? Or perhaps this is some twisted way of creating jobs that I am failing to grasp?
I wonder what political discussion would be like if it were illegal to speculate recklessly on what someone "wants," as in, "Barack Obama wants the country to go broke." I know it would certainly take an immense weapon away from the right. It probably would from the left as well, but I think leftists may be a bit less likely to attribute truly fantastic motives to people. Floyd says, "If things go in the future like Washington wants them to go, people will be marrying their dogs and cats and horses." It might be hard to pin a rap on him for this one, since he accuses "Washington" and not any actual human being. But other than that his statement is a good example.
Commenters, really? The only thing barring cross-species marriage is the issue of consent?
"Commenters, really? The only thing barring cross-species marriage is the issue of consent?"
yes, and the outrageous cost of a wedding dress for a horse.........
john, sometimes absurd humor is the only way to deal with insanity........
People should be able to marry dogs, cats, and horses, but only those of the opposite sex. Same-sex interspecies marriage would just be perverse, same as it is with humans. No one should be able to marry a transgender dog, cat, or horse, not even a perverted transgender person.
And any transgender dog, cat, or horse who wants to use the restroom or dressing room in Macy's must abide by the decision of the Christian sales clerk. The decision of Muslim sales clerks would not apply, because their decision would be based on Sharia law, which is not biblical, and whose aim is to destroy Americans and their dogs, cats, and horses, especially the transgender ones, which Islam especially hates (ok, we have some common ground there). Besides, I wouldn't go into any restroom some Muslim pointed me to, because there might well be a bomb in there. Anyone remember 9/11? Enough said. Also, all Macy's in Texas would be required to check the immigrant status of all it's sales clerks to make sure no Mexican has snuck across the border and taken the job from an American.
Actually, I really hate cats - they're so fucking aloof and never do a goddam thing you tell them to - so the Muslims can blow up all the cats they want, or even stomp mudholes in them. Hell, they could even marry transgender ones if they want for all I care, which they probably do anyway under godless Sharia law.
This is all just common sense, which is in short supply up there in Washington.
"What he means -- Mr. Mayor -- is Old Testament...real wrath-of-God type stuff."
TNGA Rep. Richard Floyd is offering up a legislative fix for a problem that has never officially surfaced in Tennessee...being a Baptist, why doesn't he merely "forgive" his imaginary, clothes-changing, transgendered "mudhole" from the future...?
"“I’m just sick and tired of society having to adjust to every little alternate lifestyle or little whim of someone who thinks they’re different,” Floyd says. “We’ve got the tail wagging the dog. If things go in the future like Washington wants them to go, people will be marrying their dogs and cats and horses. We can’t continue to let society go down a slippery slope of depravity and survive as a society. We can’t do it.” --- TNGA Rep. Richard Floyd.
Perhaps Rep. Floyd was thinking about the Christian, anti-abortionist, and pro-mule secessionist, Neal Horsley:

The Neal Horsley wiki article probably goes along way toward the real reason as explaining why the Republican leadership within the Tennessee General Assembly is very hot about cutting state funding of Planned Parenthood offices across Tennessee:
Neal Horsley - The "Nuremberg Files"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_Horsley#The_.22Nuremberg_Files.22
"...The Nuremberg Files is a website that displays the names and locations of various doctors who perform abortions throughout the United States. They came under fire as controversial because they provided photos, addresses, and other personal data of abortion providers. They also updated the listings of those doctors who had been injured or murdered by "pro-life" individuals, indicating their approval for the elimination of the provider.
While the original site was shut down in 2002, it has reappeared more than once on other ISPs. Horsley has been forced to change his Internet service provider numerous times due to the site's content, and his website has been hacked on several occasions.
It has been stated that information from the Nuremberg Files site was used by James Charles Kopp to track down and kill Buffalo doctor Barnett Slepian in 1998. [2] Kopp fled the country (becoming a fugitive in Canada) but allegedly maintained contact with Horsley while on the run. Kopp was later arrested in France and extradited to New York, where he is serving a 25-year prison sentence.
After Slepian's murder, Planned Parenthood's president Gloria Feldt denounced Horsley's website at a press conference. The publicity generated hundreds of thousands of hits (Horsley claims 400,000). Horsley was named as a co-conspirator in a successful civil suit, Planned Parenthood v. American Coalition of Life Activists,[4] filed by Planned Parenthood over the information compiled by him and "Unwanted Posters" of doctors, which was judged by the court to constitute a threat of violence, even without an explicit call to violence. The U.S. Supreme court has twice refused to hear the case, upholding the ruling, but asking that the punitive damages be reconsidered.[3] Punitive damages were reduced from $108 million to $4.7 million. The ruling also provides for $11 million in treble damages and $526,000 in compensatory damages.[4][5]
As part of the judgment, Horsley was to take down the "Nuremberg Files" section of his website. The verdict was later overturned on appeal, and the files returned. The case was reheard en banc, and the court determined that the files constituted constitutionally unprotected "true threats". Karin Spaink ran a mirror of the site in the Netherlands for about a week after the district court decision. She ultimately decided to remove the mirror."
