The onslaught of criticism, economic sanctions and a lawsuit being leveled at Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina grew on Tuesday, as the largest corporation in his state joined the fight against a new law that eliminated anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Knee jerk reactions to a good law....
Embarrassed for defending common sense?

Sex deviants can have a grand old time with this nonsense.
<>When can we start over?<>
When the states meet in an Article V convention.
Maybe.
