    If you don't get that being gay isn't a choice for a lot of gays, then there's nothing more to discuss. I'll just lol at your arrogant ignorance.

    Lol.

    I mean, when the other person already blasted off in a blaze of butt-hurt, there isn't really any reason to keep playing.

    More seriously, though, I'm not going to chase you around insulting you like some of the other posters have. I may have issues with your arguments and how you present yourself in them, but I have no beef with you personally. If you respond to me, I'm going to reply, with criticism if I think it's warranted. But I'm not interested in continuing to push pissing contests if you say you're done.

    I have no beef with anyone here either; It's just a message board. I don't care to change your mind either. I'm seeing if you or anyone else is going to bring something new to the table to change mine.

    You aren't required to tell me you're done. You can just be done.

    "The fate of North Carolina's new law aimed at restricting restroom use by transgender people could be determined in*Virginia, where a school board has ordered a teenager to stay out of the boys' room.

    The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond could rule any day now in the case of Gavin Grimm, who was born female but identifies as male. Grimm says he has to take a "walk of shame" to use a restroom at Gloucester High School.

    Whatever the judges decide, the impact will be far more sweeping than what Grimm envisioned when he challenged the policy last year.

    "I did not set out to make waves — I set out to use the bathroom," Grimm says.

    North Carolina's bathroom bill was unveiled, debated and signed into law in a single day last week, two months after the appeals court in Richmond heard arguments in Grimm's case. But two workers and a transgender student at the University of*North Carolina*are making similar arguments as they seek a federal injunction preventing enforcement of the new law.

    Among other things, the law directs public schools, public universities and government agencies to designate bathrooms and locker rooms for use only by people based on their biological sex, and says transgender people can only use bathrooms matching their gender iden y if they've had their birth certificates changed, which in North Carolina usually requires sexual reassignment surgery.

    The law has prompted a national backlash. Businesses and politicians have announced boycotts of North Carolina, and legal challenges ensure that the wedge issue will dominate the Republican governor's re-election campaign*..........

    NC’s McCrory struggling to defend controversial anti-LGBT law

    North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) held an event yesterday unveiling the site of a future interstate, and the governor noted that more reporters were on hand than he’d ordinarily expect. “I’m just amazed how many of y’all are interested in roads,” the governor said. “This is fantastic.”

    The praise, of course, was insincere. McCrory realized that the media’s interest is in H.B. 2, a controversial new anti-LGBT measure the governor signed into law late las week, and as the Kinston Free Press reported, he’s eager for the questions to just go away.

    [A]fter three questions, he was ready to leave.


    “I know the media loves these created controversies, but the people of North Carolina want to talk about roads and jobs and education, and that’s what I’m going to focus …,” McCrory said.

    Moments later, the report added, the governor “swiftly turned,” walking away from reporters with questions.

    McCrory’s rhetoric would be more persuasive if it were consistent with reality.

    If the people of North Carolina are focused on roads and jobs and education, why is North Carolina’s Republican-led state government – led by Pat McCrory – focused on bathrooms and blocking communities from protecting civil rights?


    As for the controversy itself, the governor may be disappointed if he’s waiting for the story to fade away. The New York Times reported yesterday:

    The onslaught of criticism, economic sanctions and a lawsuit being leveled at Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina grew on Tuesday, as the largest corporation in his state joined the fight against a new law that eliminated anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.


    Bank of America, which has its headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., announced late Tuesday on Twitter that its leadership was joining over 80 chief executives, including Timothy D. Cook of Apple and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, in objecting to the new law. Earlier in the day, the chief executives published a letter, addressed to Mr. McCrory, on the Human Rights Campaign website, saying, “Such laws are bad for our employees and bad for business.”

    The Greensboro News & Record noted. “McCrory has claimed that a large number of businesses supported the law, but his office has not listed those companies despite many media requests.”


    Imagine that.

    Public-sector responses, meanwhile, are only adding to the pressure. The Democratic governors in New York, Washington, and Vermont have stopped all non-essential travel to North Carolina, and several mayors have done the same. [Update: Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy issued a related executive order this morning.]

    As for McCrory himself, the Republican governor still hasn’t explained why he said the new law doesn’t interfere with local civil-rights protections, when the truth is the exact opposite.

    Now the Obama administration is weighing in on the controversy, saying that the North Carolina law may jeopardize the state’s federal funds. If the Justice Department determines that the law violates federal civil rights statutes, the state could be looking at the loss of billions of dollars in highway, school, and housing funding.

    So far no one is saying that Washington is ready to move on halting federal funds, but there have been some “warning shots” fired in North Carolina’s direction. The Charlotte Observer reports that Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx raised the possibility of a federal review of North Carolina’s transportation funds during a speech in the state on March 29. North Carolina receives about $1 billion a year in federal highway funds.

    But the $1 billion in transportation funding pales in comparison to the $4.5 billion North Carolina receives in funds for education. The concern, expressed by business leaders in a letter to Governor Pat McCrory, is that the federal Department of Education will withhold those funds due to the new law’s violation of the le IX statute. That law, passed in 1972, says that educational ins utions that receive federal funds cannot discriminate against people based on sex.

    A fact-check by Raleigh TV station WRAL says that at the present time it is unclear whether federal courts would say that gender iden y is protected under le IX. A federal lawsuit currently underway in Virginia could decide that issue, and if the court decides that transgender students are covered under le IX protections, North Carolina schools could be in for a world of hurt.

    Do the politicians who pass this crap take pride in screwing over LGBT community or is just that their backwards cons uents are really demanding it (or at least perceiving it as a reason to vote for them and donate to them)?

    WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is considering whether North Carolina’s*new law on gay and transgender rights*makes the state ineligible for billions of dollars in federal aid for schools, highways and housing, officials said Friday.

    Cutting off any federal money — or even simply threatening to do so — would put major new pressure on North Carolina to repeal the law, which eliminated local protections for gay and transgender people and restricted which bathrooms transgender people can use. A loss of federal money could send the state into a budget crisis and jeopardize services that are central to daily life.

    Although experts said such a drastic step was unlikely, at least immediately, the administration’s review puts North Carolina on notice that the new law could have financial consequences. Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina had assured residents that the law would not jeopardize federal money for education.

    World of hurt is subjective I guess

    If I identify myself as a female despite not wanting to take hormones, having surgery or wear dresses, can I go to the women's bathroom without any problem, at least in progressive states?

    you can in progressive Austin's Starbucks. boys and girls can go into either restroom.

    Euros laugh at America's puritannical police state that forces to people to excrete in police-viewable toilet stalls, rather than in full-door closets.

    Problem solved

    Santee Education Complex is the first school in the Los Angeles Unified School District to let students of different genders use the same bathroom at the same time.

    On Thursday, the circular "girls" sign outside a second-floor bathroom is being replaced by one that says "all-gender restroom." The inside isn't changing at all.

    You can use the stall if you're afraid of a girl seeing your peepee.

    The whole "issue" can be summed up basically as a massive signaling opportunity for libs and their handlers. The number of actual degenerates that call themselves trannies is substantially low when compared to the rest of the population. They're statistically almost non-existent. But, as we see every few years, libs get a hard-on for a pet issue to signal their righteous indignation for normal people and take up the cross for small groups of weirdos like trannies. The main goal isn't necessarily for trannies to get to use the same public bathroom that your young son or daughter use. The main goal is to stick it to white heterosexuals (bonus points if they're also Christian and conservative) ie. the archenemy of the left. Almost every lib scheme and cause can be broken down into revolts against whites and white normalcy.

    yep, that's exactly why Repugs/Christian Taliban are spending so much time specifically targeting LGBTQ with laws.
