North Carolina Overturns LGBT-Discrimination Bans

[Figueira]

I didn't see a thread for this anywhere, so here.

If any non-evil Republicans exist, none of them are in the North Carolina legislature. Hopefully the 2016 wave is big enough to overcome gerrymandering.

props to the senate democrats for presenting a unified show of protest

But no props at all to the 11 House "democrats" who voted for it.

Now why get rid of anti-discrimination measures? The bathroom issue is a completely separate issue, but as far as that bill goes, it's just too far. Roy Cooper was right when he said that 2016 will be a fight for the heart and soul of North Carolina.

Wait a moment, exactly what is the minimum wage thing doing in a LGBT bill? And outright abolishing LGBT nondiscrimination measures? Stay classy North Carolina. I'm proud to continue to endorse Roy Cooper for Governor.

Of course you would think so.

We must do everything to protect those poor poor straight Christians.

It's just part of the big plan to end this transgender sideshow:

1. States and the federal government should not allow legal gender marker changes.

2. Transgender people should not have any legal protections against discrimination, nor should anyone be forced to respect their identity.

3. Transgender people should not be legally allowed to use facilities in accordance with their gender identity.

4. Medical coverage related to transition should not be provided by the government, or any other entity.

5. Transgender people should not be allowed to serve in the military.

Get your head out of the clouds and realize that transgenderism is not a fairy tale. Whatever happened to you talking to someone and changing your mind on this issue?  I do hope you never try to run for office as a democrat - the party would never accept someone with your position on this issue.

I already regret that side remark. I never imagined you'd actually take the bait.

By the time I'm middle aged, bald, and ready to run for elected office, I get the feeling that by that time, transgenderism will be the new abortion, the new divisive wedge social issue. And frankly, I don't mind being the future equivalent of a pro-life Democrat. Bob Casey sure hasn't had any trouble.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

The new wedge issue will probably be something like human cloning or the morality of artificial intelligence or whatever. Transgender issues would be in the past.

Wolverine, when Wulfric is the voice of reason here, you are doing something horribly wrong.

Wolverine again with his hatred of transwomen since he thinks transwomen are misguided gay men who only became women to attract straight men and that they need to be socially pressured into "remaining gay guys".

A lot of older gay guys sadly believes in this insane crap because they think passable transwomen are "betraying them".

Are you seriously that deluded?

Luckily you probably won't get much further than winning 2% of the vote in a primary for city councilor.

Yeah whatever. I feel like I fit nicely into the New Democrat mold.

[Virginiá]

Glad to see the Deep South is staying classy.

To be fair, North Carolina has had much less in common with traditional Deep South states for years now, being far more moderate than other Deep South states such as Alabama, Mississippi and so on. The state was actually pretty decent until Republicans took over the legislature/governor's mansion in 2010/2012 and began ramming through a disgustingly conservative agenda at breakneck speed.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I feel like I fit nicely into the New Democrat mold,

Honestly that's bad enough as it is even without the bigotry.

Assuming I'm reading numbers 1 and 4 correctly, you actually want to outright ban sex reassignment surgery? WTF, dude?

[Virginiá]

Wolverine22, I don't get it. Why are you so against transpeople? Your list sounds like something I'd expect to hear from a racist backwoods redneck in Alabama. Do you really understand what you're saying? You're basically encouraging discrimination here and for someone like you, I would have thought you'd have some compassion on this front...

I can at least understand your aversion to the bathroom issue, but the rest of that list is just hate.
