That is what I thought when it was reported that one of the movie makers will not be filming in North Carolina or allowing anyone else to make films from his writings in our state. I have never viewed his movies because their titles sound so vile so "who cares?"

Bad laws will bring bad people to your state and good laws will bring good people. I don't care to be boycotted by bad people.

Interesting dynamic in play here.

You have a business making profit from (in many cases) sexual addictions ceasing its operations because of this law.

Is this really a BAD thing?

You could say that this porn group fuels sexual predators - that would take advantage of the bathroom rules - to act out in real life. Less of this could be an improvement.

Yet, just a handful of days ago he thought it was a good enough idea that he signed it into law?


What about the ban on cities/municipalities from passing their own anti-discrimination laws? This was political penis swinging/measuring at its worst, plain and simple.


Sorry, but this seems disingenuous, at best. I won't be voting for him in the next cycle.

I don't remember a gay marriage Constitutional amendment. Can you post a link?

So before this idiotic law was passed, how many women with penises did you see in the women's locker room exposing themselves to little girls?
Hey, before what you refer to as "this idiotic law" was passed, MALE students at a PA university repeatedly complained about a FTM trans who was still anatomically a female using their facilities. The university expelled the she/he for doing so, and FEDERAL COURT upheld the expulsion on March 31, 2015:

The child will probably be bothered by mine, but it's cool, I will just tell her I have a vagina and the government banned me from using the men's locker room. That should make her feel all better.

Again, why are adults getting naked in front of children? Is this a common practice for you or your daughter? Does she commonly have adults getting naked in front of her?

Well we do have a constitutional amendment for a woman's right to vote even those the majority of people were against it. We have an amendment that once banned alcohol even though people were against that as well. I have proved my point, you are just flailing in the wind now wishing you were right.

Don't bet on it. Federal court upholds the expulsion of FTM trans college student who is still anatomically female for using men's facilities:

Totally false. It has NOTHING to do with a "conflict," and EVERYTHING to do with overlapping jurisdiction. Please stop misrepresenting actual matters of law.

Federal court UPHELD the expulsion of a FTM trans college student who is still anatomically female for using men's facilities at the University of Pittsburgh, on March 31, 2015:

So WHY did Ringo Starr subsequently perform in PA in October 2015? And in Pittsburgh, no less?

Ringo Starr is a HYPOCRITE!!!

Porn site bans all North Carolina users over anti-LGBT law
Not the minority, just the working class that doesnt have time to cry about this. We are the silent majority, and we are just watching the country get kornholed by lazy, left wing losers right now. Its going to change, and so is the lefts lifestyle.. The left is full of sad no good people that use other peoples money, via the government, to live their unproductive uber liberal lives
