So, only a minority want to repeal the whole law.

I have read it. Did you actually read my question? Because you really didn't answer it. Don't worry. I know why.

You obviously not read the bill.
Does HB2 affect rights of people who aren't gay or transgender?
Yes. The law limits how people pursue claims of discrimination because of race, religion, color, national origin, biological sex or handicap in state courts. The law also means a city or county cannot set a minimum wage standard for private employers. Haven't cities other than Charlotte expanded nondiscrimination ordinances? Charlotte's ordinance was the first of its kind in North Carolina. Three South Carolina cities have similar ordinances: Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach. They're written differently, but "conceptually are identical" to what Charlotte did, city attorney Bob Hagemann has said. Those South Carolina cities and more than 200 other cities around the nation where similar ordinances exist have not reported problems with transgender bathroom use.

I'm 99.9% sure that transsexuals have not been a protected class in NC, right?

Hangs, I honestly don't think that this bill took away any protection that existed, right?

I sympathize with individuals working in NC that no longer have protection against discrimination.

Actually, I sympathize with the governor, sparking. I think he tried to do the right thing and he's taking heat. People just aren't rational anymore.

The governor caved.
He is such a disappointment.
One and done.

But I will say this...people do push back.
And Gov. McBigot is feeling the push right now.

Good Lord. You sure do like to dance in circles. Does this actually work in real life? Do people just usually shake their heads and walk away when you start with this type of deflection?
You realize this doesn't fool anybody, right? Not even glitter.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THOSE BIGOTED, BACKWARD, HEAR STUCK UP THEIR *** REDNESS ON HERE TO SHOW WHERE THERE EVER HAS BEEN A CRIME INVOLVING A TRANSGENDER PERSON IN A BATHROOM THEN SHOW US WHERE MALE ON MALE CRIME IN RESTROOMS HAVE OCCURRED. (REPUBLICAN LARRY CRAIG COMES TO MIND).
WHEN YOU SHOW THAT, YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO BI*** ABOUT.

Btw, for those screaming but...but ....but...this is discrimination and this is not about a bathroom, perhaps you should STOP and ask yourself what this is a direct result of? Had Charlotte not attempted to make their own law allowing boys to go into the girls room then this bill wouldn't have happened, right? So, blame Charlotte. You can't have it both ways. Either the bathroom thing is an issue or it isn't. Sometimes when you push people they push back.

Do I realize that you are the one talking about the bathroom? Uh yea. Do I think that there are other aspects of the bill that are also good? Yes. I do.
