He should have thought about this before he signed it.

Again and again and again journalists fail to ask one simple question that cuts to the heart of these gender bathroom laws:

“Will you cite one arrest, one filed complaint, one allegation anywhere in the nation leveled by a woman or girl, stating they were harassed, molested, fondled or raped by a man posing as transgender as a ruse to gain entry to a woman’s bathroom?”

Just one goddamned journalist, put that question to someone.

When asked whether he believes that people have been fired for being gay, McCrory said he wasn’t aware of an example. And when Time Warner’s Tim Boyum noted that the North Carolina makes it legal for someone to be fired for being gay, McCrory claimed that the federal government can protect them.

"The federal government does that right now," he said. "I don’t believe anyone should be discriminated against. But I also don’t believe government ought to be writing employment policy for every company and corporation throughout the state of North Carolina."


Under state law, the statute of limitations for filing a claim is three years, whereas individuals only have 180 days to file a claim at the federal level with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Sumter said. And after the EEOC gives an individual the go-ahead to sue the employer, they only have 90 days to file a lawsuit, according to Sumter.

From March 25th

This section is important, because McCrory has to be somewhat aware that HB2 gums up the works in regards to workplace claims.

“…and I frankly think this very powerful interest group will continue to make it a topic because that’s there agenda,”

Interest groups such as PayPal, the NBA, various entertainment groups, etc. Until HB2 is reversed, I hope to see him being grilled every. single. week.

Here is something that needs clarifying for me. If a person born female transgenders to male, does this law force him into the little girls’ room?

Gov. McCrory is evil to the core. As a gay American who believes in fairness and equality to all, I say shame on you, McCrory. I hope Charlotte continues to thrive, but I hope ALL of the rest of of North Carolina falters so badly that you get strung up by your nuts.

I use PayPal numerous times throughout the month, and I totally support their position with regards to expansion in NC. As a matter of fact, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has made it a point to try and woo PayPal to Virginia. I hope he succeeds. NBA, please put your money where your mouth is. Thank you.

just for my own clarification… his defense of the bill has gone from we haven’t lost any business from companies doing business in the state to the companies pulling their businesses just don’t understand the bill?

Reads as if he did but just did not give a shit of anyone not a personal friend/acquaintance running into a problem with the law’s provisions so signed into law anyway.

You are a fucking LGBT-hating bigot McCrory. Nothing short of repeal of this law will suffice. You signed the fucking thing within 12 hours. Lie all you want about how this came about…No one is buying your special brand of bullshit. I hope you continue to lose money in your state and your state budget goes to hell as a result. You failed the people of NC with your narrow appeal to a small handful of other bigots. People around the country are tired of this kind of overt discrimination. So Fuck You.

Kaitlin, I love ya…but you’ve got to learn about how to use an apostrophe. Jeez…

When you are a Mayor, Governor or President and you have dug yourself into a hole and the hole is getting bigger and bigger you have 2 choices: reality or ideology.

  1. If you choose reality STOP DIGGING!
  2. If you choose ideology, get a bigger shovel.

HERE’S an idea…in the dark of the night enact a law that REPEALS this POS and sneak in and SIGN it. It seems to have worked BEFORE. What I am amazed at is why these homophobic, anything-other-than-white-malephobic idiots don’t think about is a fully transgendered male showing up in the woman’s bathroom because he was ‘born’ a woman. Now that would give ME pause. Stupid idjits.

NC Gov clearly didn’t watch Mike Pence do the same and embarrass his whole state in interview after interview like a moron trying to out-reason comparably more intelligent reporters by stuttering and repeating “freedumb” over and over. What is it about these R’s that attacking gay rights is the most pressing issue facing their state? Morons

Sometimes, I think the best way to handle the Teabaggers is to let them have their way just so you can listen to them whine it’s not their fault when we have to fix all the damage they caused.

I just want to say that on the same day the NC legislature passed this law, they also passed another preventing NC municipalities from raising the minimum wage above the national minimum and this law, because it will affect far more people, is arguably more important.

So let’s not get distracted, we can easily talk about them both, which are part and parcel of the same disempowerment agenda.
