Conservatives are having a hard time adjusting to the 21st century. They're kinda stuck in the 19th.

there are so many other miniscule segments of the population larger than the transgenders that never get legislation sponsored for their cause.


To do otherwse will invite crime and lawsuits....


Anyone boycotting NC needs counseling for being so sensitive it interferes with their functioning.
Did you read beyond the first paragraph?

It also removes city ordinances regarding discrimination based on sexual orientation, and removes the right to sue for any form of discrimination in state courts.

Good for Bruce. Hopefully other musicians will follow suit.

If government can force a baker to bake a cake for someone they don't want, why can't they force a musician to perform a concert where they don't want?

But cheer up! You've always got the Motor City Pedophile in your conservative corner!

Don't flatter yourself. I lived in NC for 18 years. Trust me when I tell you that the people of NC couldn't care less what people from outside the state think of their laws. Your little social justice crusade is going nowhere.

That baker is free to move to a state that applauds discrimination, just like a musician is free to not play in a state that applauds discrimination.

We'll find out in November what the people of NC care about. McCrory is up for re-election.

And the law has ZERO to do with Christianity.

This isn't Rocket Surgery.
Get a clue. Most people in this country have accepted that gays, lesbians, and transgender people have the right to be treated just like heterosexuals. Only the Right wing bigots have not.

I KNOW this law has nothing to do with Christianity, which is why I said "alleged Christianity" because most people I know who profess some form of Christianity are NOT hateful, homophobic bigots.

BTW, the phrase is "rocket science", not "rocket surgery".
