I'm still waiting for someone to jump in the Lincoln comment (and, no, I didn't write it).

Red

I remember the first time I traveled south as an adult 40 years ago. Our friends moved to Richmond and we went down for an overnight visit. They threw a party. Because I have an accent I suppose, their new friends brought up the Civil War. I was quite surprised it was still a sore spot.

I'll take the bait. What does Lincoln have to do with homosexuals? I thought he was married and fathered some children.

And what does any of that have to do with NC laws? Or the other states that are now attempting to protect the Christian majority?

40 years ago? No offense, but are we rambling off topic a bit?

You have not heard of the Log Cabin Republicans?

The Lincoln bait that I did not put out there was State Rights, the cause of the Civil War, or at least one of them.

Log Cabin Republicans

Kind of a strange name for them.

That's pretty clever.

"the name Log Cabin Republicans was chosen as an alternative title. This designation calls attention to the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln. The Log Cabin Republicans suggest that Lincoln founded the Republican Party on the philosophies of liberty and equality. These principles, Log Cabin argue, are consistent with their platform of an inclusive Republican Party."
Are they liberal or conservative?

I am tired of it being in every movie and series on television.

Why is it OK to be a self nominated offended minority group seeking 100% general acceptance or else?

Why is the majority as demonstrated by NC you down upon and penalized if we do not subscribe or go along?

I am sure the radical supporters will crap all over this post. Without knowing what they have invested in the issue or not they are just aaggitating. If they are promoting they can take their side show else where.

They are out numbered by the moral majority but have the backing of the political snakes in Washington. And the leadership cowards elsewhere.

I guess you didn't read the actual law....because if you did you would have seen the cause that makes it impossible for anyone to sue, in North Carolina, for workplace discrimination. This in NOT just about LGBT.

Much of the public discussion over HB2 in the 12 days since its adoption has centered on its harm to the LGBT community and resulting economic impact. This has gotten lost somewhat, but in its own way is just as momentous: The new law bars workplace discrimination claims from North Carolina courts, nullifying 30 years of common-law precedent and forcing people who say they’ve been unfairly fired from their jobs to turn to the federal courts for relief.

Why’s that a big deal? The federal court system is a lot harder, and usually more expensive, to navigate. Before they even file suit, potential plaintiffs have to get permission from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which can take months. They then have 90 days to file the complaint, compared to a three-year statute of limitations for state court. The filing fee is twice as expensive, and damages are capped at $300,000; there’s no such cap at the state level. On her firm’s website, Noble has published a pair of blog posts that outline the differences.
Perhaps you should do some research beyond Faux News next time.

NC is a "right to work" state. It has been for a very long time. As you know this means "no unions" to simplify it. It also means that they can fire you for any reason, and I have seen it done like that. That kind of nullifies any idea that you are going to get any action on a discrimination suit. I don't pretend to know the details, only that I have seen how it has worked in the past. What this has to do with the new implied Christian protection status, I do not know. Good people conduct themselves with decency and do not need special laws for special groups, such as hate laws and special bathrooms for gender confused. It is unfortunate that some groups are so mentally unstable that they need laws changed to pander to them, which then cause more laws to be enacted just to protect the majority from them.

Boycott all you wish. Burn flags all you wish. Neither will garner the respect that you demand. The LGBT faction has negated a lot of any possible respect just by their ridiculous gay pride parades. If they want respect, then they should be respectful.

One as usual you missed the point and are off on some tangent.

Two don't you get tired of using the dull, inaccurate, stupid, PIA quoting that everything you do not agree with you credit to FOX.

A lotta wasted keystrokes for no added value.

That's what we get when politicians are governed by minority, special interest voting blocks.

They continue to crap on the majority as long as enough are stupid enough to keep re-electing them.

Exactly!
