Small Joke Leads to Big Trouble in Roseburg, Oregon
Not long ago, they asked for tolerance. Now, they demand reverence. There is no tolerance for even the most harmless levity where our transsexual overlords are concerned. This applies not only in large cities that have succumbed to degeneracy but even in small towns like lonely Roseburg, Oregon (pop. 23,379).
The News-Review reports that the Roseburg City Council had scheduled a discussion of…
…possible sanctions against Council President Bob Cotterell for comments he made about gender identity that have been called inappropriate and transphobic, and led to calls for his resignation.
Cotterell’s initial transgression occurred during preparations for a biweekly City Council Zoom meeting in June:
One of the councilors had misspelled their name on a roster and another quipped that they had considered using a woman’s first name in jest.
“Well that’s fine, you’re in Oregon,” Cotterell said, according to others who heard it. “You can be a boy today and a girl tomorrow.”
Feathers flew. Cotterell’s light-hearted remark was denounced vociferously. The entire City Council was attacked for not attacking him.
Then, Cotterell did the unthinkable. Rather than issue the standard groveling apology and beg for forgiveness, he committed the political faux pas of placing objective reality before LGBT ideology. As the press put it:
Cotterell then doubled down, dismissing the criticism as an example of political correctness gone too far. He said his stance on gender identity is rooted in science and dismissed the notion that individuals should be allowed to self-identify their gender.
That is, he held to the logically irrefutable position that people are what they are, regardless of what they say they are. Such impudence will not be forgiven.
Another Councilmember calls for Cotterell to undergo “inclusion, equity, and diversity” indoctrination. He is likely to face one or more sanctions:
Those include not being recognized to speak at meetings, being reprimanded or formally censured by the council, losing commission assignments and having official travel restricted.
Can we call it totalitarianism yet?
