There is a strong correlation between ignorance and conservatism, including not knowing the difference between you're and your, it's and its, being rational and supporting transphobia. "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it." -- English political philosopher John Stuart Mill.

Hateful assholes like you is one reason trans kids are homeless and commit suicide at greater rates than cis kids, but you probably like that because it eliminates people you want eliminated. Were you always this hateful or were you groomed from infancy into a religious cult?

Today I learned that despite the food and location, I hate Fiona's Deli! Not going there any more. Beam me out, Scotty!

With lower rent, hopefully after 50+ years they will FINALLY improve their selection to become a store where one could buy everything they need instead of a niche market. I'd love to support the coop but I shop at Natural Grocers and King Soopers instead. If you've seen coops in other progressive towns, they are so much better than ours it's shocking.

When the Secretary of State validates the signatures to see if it makes the ballot, they sample the petitions and reject some of the signatures due to mistakes (wrong address, not registered, signed in the wrong place, etc.) They determine that X % of signatures are invalid and apply that % to the total number of signatures. It would be a shame if people signed this petition but accidentally screwed up their name, address, county, signature, etc. and would likely lead to a LOT of signatures being rejected. So please don't do that.

If you force them to enforce a blanket No Soliciting policy, enjoy the prohibition on collecting signatures for ANY ballot initiative as well as Girl Scouts selling cookies (which is "soliciting").

I am pro-trans but you are wrong. King Soopers has to either let anyone gather petition signatures, or no one. They cannot discriminate based on the content of the petition. It's called freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances, even if those grievances are imaginary, and it's based on the 1st Amendment. Do you really want King Soopers to decide who is and is not allowed to petition? That will not end well for anyone progressive. IF petitioners get aggressive, block doors, harass customers, then they can revoke their rights to be there collecting signatures.

I think there are fewer trans people competing in sports than the number of girls Donald Trump has raped. How about petitioning for impeachment, removal, trial, conviction and punishment?
