North Carolina Passes "Anti-LGBT" Bill

[Soldati Senza Confini]

U.S. Marshals generally don't have the authority on state law.

Those would be your state troopers.

Who are currently busy dealing with the recent crackdown by the North Carolina Department of Transportation: No more five MPH grace limit above the speed limit, if you are going over the posted speed limit (even 1 MPH over), you'll be pulled over. I doubt they've got time to concern themselves with guarding bathrooms from folks with guns.

I'll be surprised if you tell me there hasn't been an increase in radar detectors/jammers.

[Aclion]

Unless you're also going into bathrooms for blowjobs, that won't be a problem.

Well shit... Guess I gotta rethink my weekend plans.

Apparently Murphree apologized for the remarks done that day:

At least he ate part of his humble pie, but I really must demand he eat the whole slice and look at the statistics on rape and harassment in places where transgender people can go into bathrooms fitting their identities. The whole slice, Muphree.

*shrug* Doubt he saw the proverbial light. This "apology" was probably driven by the election.

[Ancient Pluto]

Oh, for crying out loud -- Fuck democracy at this point. Declare me dictator and I'll give full rights for LGBT for marriage, bathroom usage, etc. and I'll enforce laws that enforce pro-choice on abortion so no sneaky underhanded laws can be made. I'll also make it illegal for anyone but the police to use military grade weapons [because criminals will get them anyways probably], and enforce a strict "rifles and shotguns are for hunting purposes only" rule of thumb. You get a pistol for self defense, and that's that. I'll also try to fix all the shitty problems our inefficient government has gotten us into. Our debt's too deep, tempted to say I'd declare us bankrupt to save us from having to pay it. After all of this, I'd make any/all laws as dictator amendments into the Constitution, and make an amendment that all further amendments cannot remove or cancel previous amendments, even if they were made by a dictator. Then I'd resign and re-institute the proper democracy.

Any issues with this?

You can actually simulate that, ya know. It's this supercool website called NationStates.

Either that or being accused or pushing for immediate violent action. I believe that type of free speech is not protected.

[Grenartia]

Apparently we're all on some sort of "shoot-on-sight" list or something.

If these right wing cowboys are taking their Glock .45s, I'm taking my Desert Eagle. Fire with fire ya know?

I have a feeling that'll go down even worse than Tamir Rice.

[Grenartia]

Ah, but seriously... You wouldn't know they were transgender unless you were in the same stall as them.

Odds are that you have been in a restroom wth a trans person before, you just didn't know it because they were just doing the same thing you were.

Could be true. But I'm from a very rural area, so I kind of doubt it. Only recently moved to a larger city.[

Trust me, we're out there, too.

Well, he clearly failed to spend any time researching sexual orientation in transgender people.

Buck Newton. Wonder if that's his actual first name or just a nickname he got from certain repetitive motions.

So wait, does that mean people want to be gay and are just using homophobia to stop that?

Maybe homophobia is just the fear of being made gay by an overwhelming presence of gays. . *nods*

I elect to concisely summarize my argument:

This is bad.

No, it's the fear of the taboo kinkiness of gay sex going away due to the normalization of gay acceptance and marriages.
