1. Do morals come from God or the majority?
Orlando Estrada
Republican
The true and living creator has given us the ability to discern between right and wrong as we get older and are from intelligent design with a conscience.

2. Are there only 2 genders, male and female?
Orlando Estrada
Republican
Actually I believe this should be worded " is there two sexes?" There is a Man and a Woman. Sometimes on a rare occasion that someone may be born with both sexual parts. I believe that in Black Laws Dictionary which is used in our court system saying one is male or female may be referred to as Chatel or cattle which we are not but hey that is the legal system for ya versus the English language.

3. Do parents or the government know what is best to teach a child?
Orlando Estrada
Republican
The Father and Mother, should they have common sense, would know best for their offspring. The word parent I believe references a " pair that rents " according to a legal dictionary just to take note. As you have God's law and man's law just to distinguish that words have meaning. Government is really there for those who may not be able to handle their own affairs, but should not be dominating one's life.

4. Should biological boys be allowed in girls’ bathrooms?
Orlando Estrada
Republican
Boys (that have a penis) going into a girls locker room is extremely inappropriate and sounds like a father's nightmare, which begs the question then what's the point of separating both sexes? Sexual harassment should not be tolerated and opens the door to certain people being malicious claiming to be something that they're not to get a "full eye view" for example. A private one person unisex stall may be a possible solution for those with different points of view.

5. Which media organizations do you get your news from?
Orlando Estrada
Republican
Yeah I'm a millennial. I don't really subscribe to any news outlet. I see what comes through my newsfeed on different social media sites or what friends send me but I do listen to podcast or YouTubers that do current events from like Russell Brand or like Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, Ben Shapiro and Ron Paul liberty report.
