Would you relocate your OBX trip bc of new NC law?

[Anonymous]

The law NC lawmakers pushed through in hours, that eliminates antidiscrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

80 high profile business leaders in the state came out against the law. There is talk of boycotts and sanctions. The NC attorney general says his office will not defend the law in court and the state will have to hire outside counsel to defend against the numerous lawsuits.

It would be easy to move our annual beach vacation to SC or DE. We love Kiowah/Seabrook Island, Emerald Isle, and Bethany. I am seriously considering this.

Great! Send me the information on the house you have booked, OP. We are changing our reservation from Florida TO North Carolina, because of the courage of the governor there.

This is why I love capitalism. Let the free markets decide!!

Not my favorite place to go anyway so this will definitely eliminate it from our list for future trips.

Yes yes go to Disney instead

“There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day.” Those are the lyrics to theme song of Walt Disney’s ode to American Exceptionalism, the Carousel of Progress. First shown at the New York World’s Fair, the attraction shows how a century of American innovation has made the world a better place. Disney was rabidly pro-American in his sentiments and a true patriot. Unfortunately, the company that bears his name has now put profit ahead of American values. What has the Walt Disney Company done, that should raise the ire of every American Citizen? They have joined in on the all too recent practice of H-1B Visa fraud.

According to Computer World, Disney has laid off over 100 American IT professionals, you know the STEM workers we apparently don’t have enough of, and replaced them. They were not replaced with offshore jobs, no, Disney imported foreign nationals on H1B Visas to replace these workers. - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/02/disney-worker-breaks-down-when-describing-how-he-trained-his-foreign-guest-worker-replacement#sthash.uyogC5Bo.dpuf

Are you defending discrimination? Can you explain why, honestly? What if your own child was gay or transgender? A teen in my carpool has come out as transgender, changing to a new name, and watching this family struggle as they do their best to support their beloved child has taught me a lot. This is a GREAT kid, who is not an attention-seeker (you learn a lot about kids driving them every morning). This child is doing their best. Why would you wish ill on someone who already has a lot to overcome in life and is actually in physical danger in many places. This would be so hard as a mother.

Yeah, sure.

Nope.

And those who are 'in between' gender can have a separate unisex bathroom to choose from. Multi stall bathrooms should still be labeled by gender.

Yes, OP, this is a turn-off for me. Plenty of other places to take my hetero-but-LGBT-friendly family.

I would not cancel because you probably already paid some.

FYI: I recommend going further south. For example, Ocean Isle, Holden Isle, Sunset Isle. It takes the same amount of time because it's interstate more of the way and the water is VERY warm. Sometimes at the outer banks the water is freezing.

I cannot believe that I am taking valuable time out of my day to post the obvious here, but apparently that is now necessary. It is not "discrimination" to codify into law -- indeed it, should not even be necessary to have to codify into law, but that is the insane mindset of the world now -- that men are not allowed in women's restrooms, and vice versa, as a matter of the comfort, safety and well being of the general population. No one is being discriminated against, at least if you really understand the meaning of that word. I pee here, you pee there. No one is denying your right to pee, while elevating my right to pee to another level.

Thank you for adding the tidbit about the child in your carpool. That child needs love, help, understanding, guidance and obviously the professional assistance of a qualified mental health professional. He or she does not need the world around him/ her "supporting" his/ her deep-seated misguided pain and cry for help by pretending that everything is A-OK when -- quite obviously -- it is not.
