Why have toilets become such an issue when we'd never heard of the problem before?

This isn't about which toilet to use, it's about forcing the other 99% to conform to a radical agenda. I know transgendered people, and when appearing in public as their original self, they know what to do and where to go. When appearing as their new identity, they also have no problem. Someone wants us to think gender is fluid, after telling us for years our sexual preferences are fixed and we are born that way. They also are forcing a change in pronouns, and that has nothing to do with toilets. The big poke in the eye is forcing Christians, Jews and Muslims to violate the teachings of their religion, and everyone else to violate common sense. The first commandment and blessings and promise for Jews and Christians: 

Genesis1:27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;…(NASB)

The gender/sex band wagon is just getting started. I was reading about same sex unions/marriage in Christian journals in the 1980s, then it made it to the church annual meetings, first for ordination, then unions, then marriage. Look how long that took. There is a huge organization literally caught with their pants down by the SCOTUS decision, now hungry for power. Now the are moving to law suits to force you to conform--it's a cottage industry. 

Transgenderism, pedophilia, incest, and polygamy all have "rights" organizations and we'll see more demands. Some subtle and some not so subtle TV programs and commercials are already pushing the envelop. Noticed any TV commercials with adult men and young children?  Are you assuming the message is two daddies, or perhaps something more sinister that you'll just start accepting? I would look up some links for you, but I wouldn't want to do it on my computer--too many infecting cookies.

And then there's the "follow the money" axiom.  "Rights" organizations can blackmail corporations, banks, individuals and politicians and they'll settle rather than risk being "anti-whatever." Some, like Target, already had gay friendly boards and CEOs. 

Although I really don't see the toilet/shower edict by Obama as a gay issue since gay men are men, and lesbians are women, and women have a lot to lose in the fight for Title 7 and 9, especially in scholarships. I would think the rank and file of the LGBT would start noticing that their cause has been taken over by radicals which will not benefit homosexuals at all.
