This is one of those hills to die on. McCrory should have told all these entertainers and the NCAA to get bent; until you allow freaks in makeup and women’s clothing to use women’s bathrooms at your concerts or college basketball games, then I have nothing to say to you and I’m going to stand up for decency.
The NC transgender law is plain common sense. Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder.
More and more states will adopt common sense laws such as demonstrated by NC. Then the perverted corporations can find places for their events outside of the USA or in California or New York.
It is a very complex situation. A couple of newspaper articles don’t begin to explain it.
The city of Charlotte is run by a liberal mayor. She and her friend, a registered sex-offender, got a far-left ordinance passed by the city council. They had been warned by the state not to do it. They did and the state responded.
There is very bad blood between the liberals running Charlotte and the Republican state legislature. Add to the mix the new governor. He was the Attorney General who refused to charge the prostitute who said she was raped by the Duke lacrosse team.
Agreed. And the media, after all these months, has to do an honest job of appraising the economic impact. The NCAA might pull out, but that does not mean the arena and hotels are empty. Sometimes large events like that scare off more business than they represent. Take out the NCAA, and the National Association of Left Handed Deaf Plumbers will book for part of that time period for their annual conventions, and so on. You need to net out the cancellation against the replacement business. It may net out negative, it may net out positive, it may be a wash. But the media simply regurgitate some numbers form the NCAA press release, and never do any work of their own on such matters. Once you get to the actual net $ impact, you have to measure that against the value of standing up for what is right. In that context, it’s negligible.
