The Patriot Post® · Bottoms Out

Typically, when hearing the phrase “bottoms up,” there’s a celebration involving toasting a drink and emptying your glass during a special occasion. There’s nothing to pause and celebrate with what just happened to restrooms in Atlanta, though. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has hit rock bottom with signing an administrative order into law during “Pride Month.” More than 100 publicly available single-user bathrooms in Atlanta are now required to be gender-inclusive — available to anyone regardless of sex.

The “all-gender” restrooms will be available across city facilities, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, now the nation’s busiest airport. A spokesman from the mayor’s office said the city council does not have to vote to ratify Bottoms’s order.

Last year, a federal appeals court in Atlanta ruled transgender high school students must have access to bathrooms matching their “gender identity.” Is it me, or is this transgender agenda to indoctrinate youth starting to become weird?

No one who knows Mayor Bottoms’s homosexual agenda track record will be shocked. In 2018, she created Atlanta’s first-ever full-time LGBTQ affairs coordinator. The mayor last year promoted the coordinator, Malik Brown, as the city’s first-ever director of LGBTQ affairs. The mayor also has an LGBTQ advisory board to help with developing policies for Atlanta’s LGBTQ communities.

This latest “breakthrough” for the average American citizen is a total disgrace. City officials say the order is an effort to “make public spaces safer for people who face discrimination based on gender identity.” Restrooms make people safe now? So, I guess now it’s All Restrooms Matter. The updated signage on the restrooms will read, “Anyone can use this restroom, regardless of gender identity or expression.”

It remains to be seen if the mayor’s order will lead to an outright ban of gender-specific bathrooms. Those bans are already in place in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, and New York. I’m not shocked. Three of the most liberal cities in America have taken a stand to celebrate and promote homosexuality. Surprise!

Brown said he was “grateful to have a boss who uses every tool in her toolbox to move LGBTQ equality forward.” Grateful to have a coworker glorify what God calls an abomination? Mayor Bottoms had a press conference stating that she would pass the torch during the upcoming election. Instead of a celebration with “bottoms up” to the mayor of Atlanta, it’s Bottoms out! I hope she never returns to politics again.
