Christian homeless shelter defends decision to turn away trans woman
A Christian homeless shelter in Alaska has defended turning away a homeless transgender woman on a cold January evening.
The Downtown Hope Center shelter in Anchorage, Alaska, is under investigation from the city’s Equal Rights Commission after a vulnerable homeless trans woman with nowhere to sleep was denied access into the women’s shelter.
Police had dropped the unnamed woman, identified as Jessie Doe, at the overnight shelter in January 2018—but twice in two days she was turned away by staff.
The average overnight January temperature in Anchorage, Alaska, is -12° Celsius (9° Fahrenheit).
Here is a "charity" that picks those it helps by criteria other than need. The US needs more socialism so that less people freeze on Winters nights. So does the UK for that matter. .
Dear
Tommy Tainant
??? Isn't the ideal to set up MORE shelters and programs especially LGBT friendly groups that
are trained to handle this sector of the population. Isn't that better than forcing it on a group
not equipped to meet those needs?
Otherwise, your argument could turn into this:
Because Jehovah's Witnesses provide education and Mormons provide social security,
"people should be forced to join these groups instead of going without help at all."
Isn't the better solution to provide more choices instead of
forcing people into programs against their religious beliefs?
What are you going to argue next:
That people are better off in prison in order to get education and medical care?
That's better than being turned away and dumped on the street with no support?
Isn't the solution to that to set up MORE transitional programs to help
people recover instead of being forced into crime and prisons for lack of help.
Do you see how this makes no sense to start
overriding the proper process, out of fear of no other way to get people help.
Why not set up better ways that Don't Require compromise of people's free choice of beliefs?
Tommy Tainant are you just trolling or
did you not think this through enough???
