Lady Speaks about LGBT protection ordinance

Watch the guys reaction directly behind her.

Man, this honestly takes two viewings.

The first time round, just listen to what the lady is saying and laugh your ass off, or facepalm. Your call.

Second time round, just flat out focus on the dude in the background and laugh your ass off.

When she starts saying gays transform, I thought we were going further off the grid. Slightly disappointed she was referring to them 'transforming' into heteros. I was hoping for dragons.

According to the link @MrFisk provides this woman probably suffers from schizophrenia, which would explain a lot. I don't see why she should be testifying in that case though.
mental illness does not take away people's constitutional rights. She exercised her freedom of speech.

This woman makes fliers and hands them out on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus.

There is actually a super sad story underneath the surface. They say they can't do anything about her mental illness unless she harms someone...

"He said her family has tried to get her help multiple times, but unless she harms herself or others, there's not much more they can do."

Usually I end up with a strong dislike of city councils or groups like them in general. The viciousness and petty squabbles that erupt in these groups are often blown far out of proportions to the issues that instigated them.

That being said. I honestly am finding it strange that this city council has earned some respect from me.
They know of this lady's illness but continue to allow her to speak in front of them and do not hinder her in any way.

From the article,
"She usually speaks twice a month during the council's open mic sessions, where citizens can talk for up to five minutes on any topic. The council sits patiently until she is done."

Had she been doing this in Dallas Tx, or any of the surrounding cities I have no doubt that she would of been forcibly removed and banned from returning. More likely causing even more damage to her psyche by adding the idea that she is being prosecuted for her ideas and beliefs.
Hats off for this city councils understanding and patients.

If she does this regularly, somebody should have helped her get help. Ignoring and playing along with the insanity isn't helping.

Or, they're all just having a laugh at her expense. I find this all really humorous, and yet I can't help but feel a little bad for laughing.

Please read the article.

Now to point out one quote from it.

"He said her family has tried to get her help multiple times, but unless she harms herself or others, there's not much more they can do."


Being Ill does not remove a persons rights. Its easy to say "Get her Help or she needs help" but unless she is willing to receive it there is not much anyone can do. It's no so much as playing along as it is just being respectful.
It also does not hurt anyone just to be polite.
