Today we are flashing back to Jun 28, 2015 when John Oliver of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver pointed out the problems with society on transgender rights. He talks about the media, the military and the transgender bathroom issue. He also points out how the bathroom bills proposed in many cities will legitimize prejudice towards the transgender community.
“This is a civil rights issue, and if you’re not willing to support transgender people for their sake, at least do it for your own. Because we’ve been through this before; we know how this thing ends. If you take the anti-civil rights side and deny people something they’re entitled to, history is not going to be kind to you.” – John Oliver
Thew new season of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver premieres in February 2016.
