I saw the EO from the governor, but it only said that he would try to get the legislature to change it. Did they actually vote to change it?

Boycotts are not the right way to fight for change. You do it through proper channels, through lobbying, through changing hearts and minds and public opinion.

Boycotts are a method of forcing people to accept your point of view, and it shows a lack of maturity. They hurt everyone in the long run.

Wrong. Putting your money where your mouth is has more meaning than words could ever have.

What upsets you is knowing, inevitably, they work.

Gay marriage became legal nationally because 5 Supreme Court had the power to impose their personal and social views on the country by ruling bans against ssm to be unconstitutional.


I have yet to hear of any cases that ruled the absence of pick your bathroom laws or anti-discrimination laws based on sexual orientation, sexual identity, transgenderism are unconstitutional.
