  I was at the concert last night at the Southern Theater. It was great. The band really rocked the house. The idea of doing the concert to aid the Mid-Ohio food bank was beyond wonderful. Mr. Btron Stripling's taste in "jokes", however, was in poor taste. The "joke" about meeting a woman in the mens room. He remarked that the woman was confused about her gender.

It was great. The band really rocked the house. The idea of doing the concert to aid the Mid-Ohio food bank was beyond wonderful. Mr. Btron Stripling's taste in "jokes", however, was in poor taste. The "joke" about meeting a woman in the mens room. He remarked that the woman was confused about her gender. He went on to remark about her brushing her beard. He was obviously making a "joke" about a transgendered woman. I couldn't believe my ears. Byron an, seemingly, intelligent man, was making jokes about a class of people which he, obviously, has no knowlege of. It's this kind of misleading behavior that causes confusion and even violence towards the Transgendered people. He should be reminded that "class jokes" are hurtfull and in bad taste. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate "jokes" about his color or occupation. I am a Transgendered woman. I am not confused nor do I, or any transgendered women I know, have a beard. By the way; Columbus has a very large transgendered community and we are connected with the gay, lesbian and bisexual communities. Does he also make "jokes" about homosexuals?
