North Carolina Bathroom Bill To Be Repealed
Townhall.com ^ | December 19, 2016 | Jason Hopkins

During a time when a lot of pundits are screaming about partisan antics taking place in North Carolina - there is a monumental bipartisan deal set to take place inside the state’s capitol.

Incoming Democratic governor Roy Cooper announced that the state's legislature will repeal the controversial HB2 law that has caused the ire of so many liberals and pro-LGBT activists around the country.

"Senate Leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore assured me that as a result of Charlotte's vote, a special session will be called for Tuesday to repeal HB 2 in full. I hope they will keep their word to me and with the help of Democrats in the legislature, HB2 will be repealed in full,” the governor-elect said in a statement.

Governor-elect Cooper was referring to a deal made between the GOP-controlled North Carolina legislature and the Democratic Charlotte city council. The whole reason, Republicans argue, HB2 came to fruition was because of an ordinance passed in Charlotte allowing basically anyone to walk into a public bathroom of their choosing. With the Charlotte ordinance now taken back, the North Carolina capitol will hold a special session Tuesday to repeal HB2.

The cooperation between local Republicans and Democrats is a strong sign of partisanship as the state recovers from a contentious gubernatorial race. Last week, lawmakers removed certain powers away from the incoming Democrat governor.

After passing the “Bathroom Bill,” the state of North Carolina faced intense backlash, resulting in various boycotts.

Did Republicans lose their majorities in the legislature?

You know our country is in very sad shape when the biggest concern of the government is to allow a crossdresser to shower with little girls.

I’d say that if I was in the ladies with my daughter and some guy trannie comes in saying he identifies as a female I’d let him know that well I identify myself as the tooth fairy and proceed to knock all his teeth out.

Some of us in South Carolina refer to N.C. as Northern Commieland. Charlotte, Asheville, & Chapel Hill are heavily infested with Kalifornicators.

It appears to me that they are saying that Charlotte has rolled back their law (or promised to), so therefore the reason for the NC law has been removed.

I’m thinking most of the responders haven’t read the article.

Charlotte has withdrawn its bill allowing anyone to go into any bathroomm so NC is withdrawing its bill requiring people to use the bathroom of their birth gender.

In other words, status quo ante which served us all pretty well for a few thousand years. Why is that a bad thing?

That is what I thought. Charlotte’s stupid bill started this nonsense.

I’ve heard NC referred to as “Berkley East”.

This is the same stalinistic thinking (?) that caused our guberment in MN to legalize same sex marriage.

Since the people neglected to vote for a amendment to our constitution defining marriage as one man and one woman... well that OBVIOUSLY means they are for homosexual marriage.

whiz boom bam!

That’s what it looks like to me. Private businesses in Charlotte can still choose to let men use their female sex exclusive areas if they want to, just like under HB2. But publicly owned facilities will no longer require use according to birth certificate sex. Which I guess was the way it has always been since before the charlotte ordinance and the gender wars?
