Oxford Alabama makes it illegal for transgender people to use any bathroom of their choice,defaulters face 6 months in jail

Last month, North Carolina passed a religious bill which made it legal for businesses to decline services to others based on their religious belief. For example, Pastors couldn't be forced to marry LGBT people, bakers couldn't be forced to bake cakes for the LGBT community if they didn't want to etc. North Carolina is currently debating on a bathroom bill which asserts that people should only use public bathrooms based on the gender they were born with. Well this has caused a lot of problems for the Governor of the state, Governor Pat McCrory.
A lot of people have called him a bigot and so many other names while others including Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have applauded the idea. Artists have canceled their gigs in protest of what they call the 'Anti LGBT' bill. Coca-Cola, PayPal, Delta Airlines, The NFL and so many other companies have boycotted North Carolina.

Retail giant Target decided to get involved in the 'bathroom issue' and said everyone could use whatever bathroom they wanted, which meant transgender male could use the female bathroom and vice-versa, not everyone was thrilled with the idea.

Well, a small town in Oxford Alabama that has a population of about 20,000 took it a step further.

In Oxford, there is one Target department store, so on Tuesday, the City Council in the small Alabama town decided to take on retail giant’s new inclusive bathroom policy and made it illegal for anyone to use a public bathroom that doesn’t align with the gender they were born with.

The new law, approved unanimously by the council’s members, restricts a person’s use of public bathrooms and changing rooms to the facilities designated for use by those of the gender listed on his or her birth certificate. The law applies within both the city’s limits and police jurisdiction.

Anyone who is found to have violated the law would be fined $500, or sentenced to six months in jail.
Some people applauded the law while others condemned it. Some mixed reactions below..



Since Target announced it’s policy change on April 19th, the American Family Association has garnered over 900,000 signatures in favor of boycotting the business.

  3. When your country/State has been able to reasonably tackle or solve her citizens' basic needs and fundamental problems to a good extent, these are the kinds of issues they now concern themselves with. In naija with all our many issues, who cares if you even use a toilet at all?

  16. Oh puhlease they should hush it jorr 😒😒
    Will they allow a random man be in the same restroom with their daughters?? Transgender or not? If he "identifies" as a woman, that's his cup of tea.. God and his damned birth certificate identifies him as a man.. simples
    Biko shift to the left and use the men's room Mbok... 😒 too many things happening in the world and you're crying over what bathroom to pee in.. toh go and pee outside.. kmt

  18. I really agree with this law. If you have decided to be confused about your gender ,pls Dont disturb my peace with it. You have no legal right to force me to accept you. Transgenders are another group of terrorist who have decided that they want to shove their confusion down our throats. Rather than force us to accept you,build your own bathrooms,bakeries, churches and live your lives free.

    1. Really? Now we're dragging God into the toilet, because of transgendered people? You think it's ok for Caitlin Jenner to share a bathroom with a man?

  21. so someone like caitlyn jenner who still av a penis use a female restroom also? or all this families that have young teens identifying as an opposite gender: a boy identifying as a girl but still has a penis. should line alongside our daughters and be showing them free penises polluting their tender minds? we jst keep tipping the world over with our confusive indulgencies.
