Today there seems to be a vocal segment of the population which is opposed to same sex marriage, transgender rights, and a woman’s right to reproductive choice.

Deputy County Attorney Ryan Esplin also bristled at Supervisor Hildy Angius’ motion to open county gyms to county employees. “I don’t know if the executive order applies to county gyms like this, I’d…
