New York Governor banning state sponsered travel to North Carolina over anti-LGBT law

[Damajin]

Oh no, NY politicos and bureaucrats won't be traveling to NC. I'd think everyone down in NC would be thrilled at not having to deal with those pretentious fucks.

The promotion of anti-Christian values and the left's indoctrination of children through the public school system.

Oh the "anti-Christian" value of loving the people you fall in love with? Of being allowed to marry who you prefer and to go through life without other people hating you for no good reason? Yeah, that's totally against what Jesus taught.

[Nobar]

This pleases me.

[Tailswipe]

Seriously? They banned state sponsored travel to North Carolina because of a law that bans men dressed as women from using female toilets?

Despite our differences, I am glad that we are united in our faith.

It's effectively useless, but as a statement I have no problem with it.

Was it actually illegal for men dressed as men to use them?

As someone who works for the New York State government, this is actually old news. At multiple SUNY campus locations (including mine), there is a specific policy that discriminatory groups could not have permanent locations on campus. It was not until recently that the ROTC had an office on campus, due to the military's enacted policy on homosexuals. They just had an off-campus site. The Westboro people have been here, multiple times, as a direct result of this policy (and we ignored them until they went away).

I can't speak for all facets of NYS but my own little niche would have done the same thing. NC can pass and enforce all the laws it wants, but they have to accept the consequences, just like a corporation or person.

ohhhh, so that's what it is.

i heard people saying "well what if a guy claiming to be transgendered goes in and hurts a woman?"

it's a legitimate question, but i don't think outright banning it is the right way to go.

Depends on how much state funded travel was to be expected ?

is NC able to counter this NY State ban ?

Glad our Governor is not such an idiot.

That's my feeling to. A male rapist or pervert could go hang out in female bathroom just by claiming that he is female in his head.

It's not an arbitrary or cruel law to require people who are physically male or female to go to their assigned restrooms. It's actually very sensible.

Is it actually legislated though, irrespective of what the person is wearing?

Go check the US building regulations.

I all for homosexual rights but I think the whole going into the bathroom you feel like versus the one you currently have the plumbing for is a bit much. It basically defeats the purpose of having separate bathrooms because you can never say what someone "feels" like on the inside.

The legislation is that they must be present, but is there an explicit law forbidding use of the opposite gender facilities? Like, could a woman be arrested and charged for using the male's facilities when there's too much of a queue?

That's the Left for you, taking something well intentioned way too far.

There's a lot of strange assumptions about sexuality in this discussion.

A strange assumption is that I don't like gay people even though the girl in my picture is bi-sexual.
