Kim Davis lawyer ‘taking a gun to women’s toilet’ to scare off transgender ‘perverts’

One of the lawyers who represented Kim Davis is taking a Glock handgun into the womenā€™s toilets, just in case there are any transgender women in there.

Hardline Republicans are using trans bathroom rights as a ā€˜wedge issueā€™ to attack LGBT rights across the US, with a number of ā€˜bathroom billsā€™ aiming to stop trans people from using their preferred toilet.

One vile ad even depicted a man raping a little girl in a toilet. Rape, unsurprisingly, is a crime in all 50 statesā€¦ but that hasnā€™t stopped one anti-LBGT lawyer from rallying against the law.

Anita Staver, the president of the right-wing Liberty Counsel which represented Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, tweeted that she will take a handgun into public toilets in future after Target affirmed a trans-inclusive bathroom policy.

Ms Staver tweeted: ā€œIā€™m taking a Glock .45 to the ladies room. It identifies as my bodyguard. #BoycottTargetā€.

She  added: ā€œI want protection from the perverts who will use the law to gain access to women.ā€

Her hubby Mat Staver is more well-known as the groupā€™s chairman and public face.

A CBS investigation recently found the fingerprints of the Liberty Counsel on many of the bils targeting LGBT anti-discrimination protections and transgender bathroom rights that have been obligingly filed by Republican lawmakers across the US.

It found that the groupā€™s leader Mat Staver, who had appeared countless times with Davis, had helped Republican lawmakers draft legislation for conservative lawmakers in at least 20 states.

He admitted: ā€œThereā€™s certainly a thread of information that is similar and the sameā€¦ they all have the same intent and that is to protect religious freedom.ā€

ā€œIt is only about being free to pursue your faith. We have no interest in discriminating against anyone.ā€

But he insisted the gays and liberals were all to blame, continuing: ā€œThe Supreme Court in the 5-4 opinion on marriage in 2015 lit the house on fire.

ā€œAll weā€™re trying to do is control the fire at this point in time.ā€
