Just listened to some commentators discuss the latest on the North Carolina bathroom bill.  The one that requires transgender people to use the bathroom associated with the gender listed on their birth certificate.  It was ‘repealed’ but no-one is happy with the repeal because it was essentially just swapping a few words but leaving the intent of the law the same.

Besides the law,  why am I so disgusted? It was the realization that the arguments made by the conservative commentator were the exact same arguments made to keep blacks out of white bathrooms.  While clearly the rationale side argues this is an issue of civil rights, the conservative commentator argued it was about the rights of essentially straight people to not have those others in the same bathroom with them.  Which rhymes with “I don’t want black people using my bathroom.”  So if you have been on the fence about this issue, don’t be.  White only bathrooms, is what the North Carolina legislature wants.  They lost that battle, however, so now they are fighting against the LGBQT community.  All to keep their white women safe. Disgusting!
