[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  Frankly, I don't see what all the fuss is about.  For a long time, I've wondered if the LGB get weighted down with all the T baggage.  I wouldn't want some male tranny coming in to use the women's room when I'm there and especially not when my daughter is there.  Frankly, this is why the Democrats are losing so much of middle America.  They seem to care more about Hollywood and Easter liberal elite values (which apparently include transvestite 'rights') rather than the issues that matter to most people.[/quote]

I assume you mean a female transgender person? Do you really think they are going to get naked right there at the sink?
They will walk in a cubicle, shut the door, take care of business, dress, wash their hands and leave.....just like everyone else.[/quote]

What was allowed under Charlotte's ordinance was for any person to use a public restroom based on the gender they identify with. Falling under restrooms are changing/locker rooms at your local public pool or gym, so, for example, any man could go into a women's locker room claiming he identifies as female and watch a mother and her young daughter undress.  Personally I think that goes too far and support HB2 for rolling it back.

That said, the bill also had the effect of removing LGBTs as a protected class by saying that no local laws could provide more protection than State law does.  Right now a gay person in NC is not protected from discrimination by NC law and can be terminated from employment because of sexual orientation (but not race, religion, sex, etc.).  Certain municipalities had their own laws providing gays with this protection, but HB2 removes those protections, which, in my opinion, is unconscionable.[/quote]
