The governor could station the national guard at each restroom. These armed soldiers would check the genitals of everyone trying to use the facilities, so their privacy can be protected. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I don't think that helps because we would only want men to check men, and women to check women. Hmm, maybe we just need hermaphrodites to do it. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Remember when FDR stationed combat troops with sandbags and machine guns at all federal court houses and post offices, particularly those in the Mid West ... this was what? 1939? An attempt to get the nation on a war footing. |

| terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11826 | The fallout continues for North Carolina Bruce Springsteen just canceled his April 10'th show in Greensboro due to the new anti-LGBT law Bruce's statement below As you, my fans, know I’m scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday. As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “bathroom” law. HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act — dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden. To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress. Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments. Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th. Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them. It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards.

Yes the list is long very long the majority of the country No I don't believe in the freedom of a business to discriminate simply due to sexual orientation Most large businesses look on these types of laws NC recently passed as bad for business For businesses, it not about left or right, its about what is best for business overall Cmon AZ, get on the pro-business bandwagon regarding this issue.
