QuoteLincoln, Nebraska -- While dozens of people testified for or against a proposed ordinance that would extend anti-bias protections to gay and transgender people in Lincoln, one woman's particularly strange statement is making waves online.

The speakers shared their views on the so-called "fairness amendment" Monday at a public hearing before the City Council. The measure would protect gay and transgender people from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations in the state's capital city.

The Rev. Nancy Erickson of First-Plymouth Congregational Church says lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are forced to live double lives because their livelihoods depend "upon them keeping a secret."

But Dave Gehrls, speaking for an Omaha-based ministry, said the measure discriminates against people of faith "who cannot live their faith in their businesses."

The local debate got national attention, however, due to the testimony of one person's comments. Video of the remarks have gone viral online.

A woman who identified herself as Jane Skrovata took the microphone at one point and for five minutes read non-stop from a rambling statement that often went off on strange tangents.

Objecting to the proposed ordinance, Skrovata gave numerous reasons that often made little, if any, sense:

    "P-E-N-I-S goes into the anus to rupture intestines. The more a man does this the more he'll be a fatality or a homicider."
    "Candida fungus grows hugely on a corpse. AIDS is a candida fungus disease."
    "Hillary Clinton's roommate four years in college was a gay woman. To avoid going gay like Clinton did, college students need single rooms and single gender dorms... A college woman is seduced with illegal Rohypnol to go gay."
    "Gays can transform to be celibate to live to be 80 years old."

The council is scheduled to vote on the measure next week.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Btw I like this from the serious discussion on the ordinance:
QuoteBut Dave Gehrls, speaking for an Omaha-based ministry, said the measure discriminates against people of faith "who cannot live their faith in their businesses."

Is discrimination really a central tenet to Christianity?
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

She is either a very poor writer and is reading exactly what she wrote, or she's schizophrenic.  Looks like a thought disorder.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

She could be a false flag by the LGBT peoples.  Probably Tomcat.
PDH!
