North Carolina Passes "Anti-LGBT" Bill

[Kannap]

So PayPal decided to pull back on created 400 jobs in Charlotte

There are a few state Republicans who supported HB2 who use PayPal to allow people to donate to their campaigns. Totally hoping PayPal can delete their accounts. Many of the Republicans who supported HB2 have declared they'll stop using PayPal.



I find it incredibly funny that the bigoted Michael Speciale who supported HB2 and made discrimination legal against LGBT people and disallowed trans people to use their appropriate bathrooms is now calling PayPal bigoted for "discriminating against women and children."

Every news article that gets published regarding this is just another article full of the bullshit that is being spewed heavily from state Republican's mouths.

New fad with bigots: Claim to be the ones fighting bigotry.

Seems to be the approach by the state's Republicans so far. It may just be that I surround myself with Democrats and therefore don't have many Republican friends, but I don't think the approach is working all that well.

Well, I'm glad for North Carolina. I hope to see more of this in the future.

Most North Carolinians aren't glad for North Carolina right now, we are hoping this gets reversed soon.

Good to see I ain't the only Carolinian who holds these views.

Hey, if it didn't work with marriage equality, it's gotta work with trans rights!

Oh, there's plenty of us. *speaking as somebody who lives in the Charlotte area and goes to college in the Asheville area*

Think of the women and the children. Unless they're transwomen and children, they aren't peoples.

What's a tradnat?

Traditionalist-Nationalist, IIRC.

The Western hemisphere has really been going too far with its 1930's nostalgia lately.

Great, though I'm a Catholic, if this has "religious nutjobs" written on it, I swear...

Suburbs up in Greensboro by the airport.

In any event, this bull has already cost our state so much that McCory is willing to admit that it wasn't the best idea in the world. If that ain't a big enough red flag, nothing is.

Oh, clearly not. They are horrible, dangerous monsters... which is why the Pacific Justice Institute had to make up a whole story about a trans teenager harrassing her classmates just so their transphobic nonsense could get any traction. The cherry on top? Their defamation campaign against the trans teenager ended up getting her on suicide watch.

Ah, it's only been a few million so far. When the Department of Education starts withholding its 4.5 billion dollars a year, Republicans will be begging to be allowed to get away with just a repeal.

[Liriena]

Great

Why?

Even if we were to repeal this and ditch our entire state legislature, our reputation is so far down the toilet that it will take a while for folks to trust us enough to move their businesses back.

I'm so glad that my governor actually has a brain.

[Luepola]

Obviously, but fucking why?

Because getting a rise out of people on this forum by holding an opposing viewpoint to the majority is fun, I'm guessing.

yes all blatant opposition to the nsg mainstream is edgyness and none of it is because they actually disagree with us. theyre all just here for the lulz

r-right guys????

because i support the bill, if you couldnt tell

Obviously, but fucking why?

because 'bathroom rights' concerning lgbt dont matter to me and shouldnt matter at all, im more concerned about the safety of women from men who would otherwise take advantage of 'anti-discrimination' laws to sexually assault them

I feel this is just the cherry on the cake that rounds out hatred against various things McCrory has done. This is the biggest one, definitely, by far. I highly doubt he'll be getting re-elected this year and I am sure our pattern of decided to give Republicans a chance and then not giving them any chances for the next 40 years will be the situation this year.

Except I don't believe it has happened. That worry is a phantom worry.

I am worried about sharing a space with X based on Y worry when Y worry is unfounded comes off as discriminatory.

Yes, because every time someone holds a belief slightly to the right of yours, it must be a joke or a method of pissing people off.

What a shitty argument, really. I don't even agree with Luepola's stance but your response is even worse. I guess the idea that someone on the internet may have a different opinion than yours is completely foreign.

You realise those same men can take advantage of your pro-discrimination law, right? And that's even if you don't care about trans women's safety.

McCory is currently considered the most vulnerable Governor up for re-election in the country. His opposition is the District Attorney, who just so happens to be refusing to defend this stupidity in court.

You do realize that more republican representatives have been caught and charged with sexual assault in a bathroom than CIS men acting like a Trans* person.

Because a law stating that transgender people aren't allowed to use the restroom of their gender is going to stop a man from entering the women's restroom. If a man is willing to break the law by raping a woman, I doubt he cares about breaking a law to enter the women's restroom. This law does nothing to protect women and only serves to hurt trans folks.

I hope the DA wins in November. Maybe some of that blue will rub off on GA.

I doubt it. Michelle Nunn and James Carter got clobbered in 2014.
