The fact that this question is even asked blows me away...another reminder of the times we now live in. The times where we are expected to continuously accommodate and roll the red carpet out for "different" amongst our society. When and where are we going to finally draw the line on whats acceptable? Where does it end?

Lets fast forward 25 years from now:
Man wants to legally marry his Labrador retriever with whom he has had a sexual relationship with for years...the man says he was "born this way" and it's not his fault he's "different"...the other nut-jobs of our society sympathize with him and begin a push to gain beastiality rights.

Sound far fetched?

Rewind 25 years from now:
Man wants to become a woman and wants full rights to womens public restrooms.
This was before the mass nut-job boom when legit people of society were the mass...nobody sympathized with him; he was ostracized and it was demanded that he keeps his weird skeletons in his own closet.

PEOPLE...WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

I find it humorous that people are comparing NC to Dubai. It that going to be their new slogan?
"North Carolina, not quite as bad as Dubai."
NC wants you to use the correct bathroom, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, etc. Will chop off your head for being gay. Which one sounds more pressing to you?


Corporate boycotts worked in So. Africa to end apartheid, why not at least give it a try?

In case you don't understand the term, Settlement, I have linked a definition for you.
Lawsuit "settlements" doesn't always include money. And I've seen NO reports whatsoever that Johnston was readmitted to the university after her federally upheld expulsion for using men's restroom/locker/shower room facilities.

So, if the left thinks they won with a 'settlement' on anything, they are mislabeling it.
Exactly. The FACT remains that a trans student has NEVER won a discrimination case. Not in state court, and not in federal court.

You might want to rethink that. Sexual orientation is NOT a federally protected class. Obama and the Dems had a chance to change that when they had the Presidency, House and Senate in 2009-2011, but they did not.

"Changed" policy only until students complain again, and a student files a lawsuit for forced submission to indecent exposure. Good luck with that.

I LIVE in the US, and will probably never be in Dubai or SA. The rights of AMERICAN citizens in AMERICA are more important to me than the laws of another country.

I've heard some states are banning travel to NC for the same reason.

Apparently DEATH is preferable to a trans with a penis than not being able to use a public multiple occupancy women's restroom/locker/shower room, etc., facility.

Why is this ignored by the LGBT community? Why not boycott any company that does business with extremist governments, refuse to buy Apple products, or Pepsi, Coke, Pay-Pal etc. if they do business or sell products to these country's? It worked for Apartheid in South Africa.
Because LGBTs and their supporters are EXTREME hypocrites.

And now more businesses are skipping the NC furniture market.

Quote:
Furniture retailer Ron Werner usually spends $2 million a year at North Carolina's gargantuan, semiannual furniture market, but he's skipping this week's event.
Quote:
A 5 percent drop in market sales could translate into a loss of more than $100 million for North Carolina furniture manufacturers, which employ about 14,000 workers.
