PayPal has 173 million users.....so while you might not use it, or know anyone who has, there are plenty of people that do.

Once again, this law has nothing to do with the bathroom issue. That's nonsensical and unenforceable. The Bill removes all LGBT discrimination protections from the State, prevents any future ones from being passed, and removes the ability of citizens to sue for discrimination.

That is why everyone is boycotting NC.

And for your regularly scheduled dose of religious hypocrisy, Tony Perkins, President of depraved Family Research Council, announced anyone with half a brain wouldn't want Paypal in their state anyway.

And yet, his very own website accepts donations through PayPal. He of course also has links for Facebook and Twitter on his website which are pro-gay.

You just can't make up this level of stupid among religious extremists.

If you know anyone who has ever used eBay, odds are they paid with PayPal. It was the only accepted form of payment on eBay for a very long time. Still used by the vast majority of eBay users because of the convenience factor.

I have to laugh at how people say they're going to start boycotting PayPal. No one who is serious about doing business online would even think about dropping them. So I'm sure PayPal is really gonna miss the few pennies from people who barely use their account, if they ever had one in the first place.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. I lived there. You had a phone call. LOL!

Epic Fail.

I saw your other comment, but I still had to address it because you got it confused: that was a direct quote from the customer, hence the quotation marks.

"everyone", really?

I live here I don't know a soul who is "boycotting" N.C. or moving out over this silly little issue.

REAL people have their eyes on much BIGGER problems.

The politicians here in NC (including the Governor) are trying like heck to deflect from the issue. They have over reached and put HB 2 together which has a lot of garbage in it. It takes away individual rights and causes local govt. to not be able to govern itself (AKA Flint Mich.).

The GOP and its member politicians tell you one thing and then do the opposite. Its time for them to be dumped.

That's total nonsense. You either have no idea what the bill is about or you have no idea what the KKK was about.

Um, No....

You don't even understand what you're 'boycotting'.

The LGBT community doesn't care about that. It's all about them, it seems. There's no common sense being applied by most of those who are screaming the loudest and are the most super sensitive to their own issues, as if nobody else counts.

In this day and age, there's not much concern any longer about LGBT discrimination even without laws. Most people shrug and take the attitude of 'to each his own', 'live and let live'. The right doesn't scream as loudly about it as the left does. Our culture is losing that battle, and so it goes the way it must...Bible believing folks know how the book ends.

Anti-gay group tells supporters to boycott PayPal… can you guess what they use to take donations? · PinkNews

You accuse him of hypocrisy but don't see it in your own post?
They are not discriminating, and you have a problem with that?
