Yup dudes aint looking at the big picture, fukk around and we going back to having whites only pies
You - and the law- by positing it this way, are splitting up a group that does not want to be picked apart. They feel that discrimination against a portion - is discrimination against the whole.
And "transgender" is not just one thing... Which is one of the many reasons this law is unfortunate.
Again... just to repeat the point I made earlier.

Myths vs Facts: What New York Times, Huffington Post and other media outlets aren't saying about common-sense privacy law | State of North Carolina: Governor Pat McCrory
1. Does the new bill limit or prohibit private sector companies from adopting their own nondiscrimination policies or practices?
- Answer: No. Businesses are not limited by this bill. Private individuals, companies and universities can adopt new or keep existing nondiscrimination policies.
- Answer: No. In fact, for the first time in state history, this law establishes a statewide anti-discrimination policy in North Carolina which is tougher than the federal government’s. This also means that the law in North Carolina is not different when you go city to city.
- Answer: Yes. This bill allows and does nothing to prevent businesses, and public or private facilities from providing single-use bathrooms.
- Answer: Yes. That is the prerogative of private businesses under this new law. For instance, if a privately-owned sporting facility wants to allow attendees of sporting events to use the restroom of their choice, or install unisex bathrooms, they can. The law neither requires nor prohibits them from doing so.
- Answer: No. Town, cities and counties in North Carolina are still allowed to set stricter non-discrimination policies for their own employees if they choose.
- Answer: No. This law simply says people must use the bathroom of the sex listed on their birth certificate. Anyone who has undergone a sex change can change their sex on their birth certificate.
- Answer: Absolutely not. North Carolina law specifically prohibits bullying and harassing behavior against children on the basis of sexual identity.
- Answer: No. Statewide law also bans discrimination based on disability.
- Answer: The bill was passed after the Charlotte City Council voted to impose a regulation requiring businesses to allow a man into a women’s restroom, shower, or locker room if they choose. This ordinance would have eliminated the basic expectations of privacy people have when using the rest room by allowing people to use the restroom of their choice. This new local regulation brought up serious privacy concerns by parents, businesses and others across the state, as well as safety concerns that this new local rule could be used by people who would take advantage of this to do harm to others.
10. What about parents or caregivers bringing children into the restroom?
- Answer: The law provides exceptions to young children accompanied by parents or care givers.
- Answer: No, according to a federal court which has looked at a similar issue.
- Answer: Absolutely not. Nothing will prevent people from receiving medical attention in public or private accommodations.
- Answer: This bill does not affect companies in North Carolina. North Carolina was one of the top states to do business in the country before this law was passed, and preventing Charlotte’s bathroom ordinance from going into effect on April 1 won’t change that.
- Answer: North Carolina is one of at least 37 states like Virginia where cities and towns cannot pass rules or regulations that exceed the authority given to them by the state. In passing the bathroom ordinance, Charlotte was exceeding its authority and setting rules that had ramifications beyond the City of Charlotte. The legislature acted to address privacy and safety concerns if this ordinance was allowed to go into effect on April 1.
- Answer: No. Not that we are aware of. Therefore, nothing changes in North Carolina cities, towns and counties, including in Charlotte, regarding discrimination practices and protections now that this law has passed.
- Answer: No. 11 Democrats voted for this bill in the N.C. House of Representatives and no Democratic Senators voted against it. In fact, Democratic Senators walked out to avoid voting on the issue at all because many were going to vote for it and they did not want show their division.
- Answer: The new Charlotte ordinance, which would have required all businesses to change their restroom policies and take away the expectation of privacy people have when using the restroom, was going to go into effect on April 1 if no action was taken.
- Answer: No. In fact in the last 3 years without an ordinance like this, North Carolina has created the 6th most jobs in the country – over 260,000 net new jobs. We know of no examples of companies being recruited to North Carolina that have asked if the state has an ordinance like the one Charlotte was proposing.
What happens when we abandon all context and logic in order to come up with a low-likelihood scenario to validate a biased point?
Men already sneak into women's bathrooms to assault women.
And homes.
And parks.
And places of work.
And dorm rooms.
And gyms.
And random streets.
And schools.
The law isn't about protecting women in any way shape or form... it really isn't about bathrooms at all... that's just the language they put in the law, hoping you'll miss the forest for the trees. It's about pandering to evangelical donors and voters, and keeping cities from raising their minimum wage.

Atlanta asks NBA to move All-Star Game from N.C.
@Henry Orbit @Tha Gawd Amen @SteezY @AVXL @Motife43 @SireSiah#KWU @Bishop_BP_Jakes @young3000 @charmanderAtlanta asks NBA to move All-Star Game from N.C.
ATLANTA -- Atlanta city leaders asked the NBA on Tuesday to consider moving the 2017 All-Star Game their way from Charlotte after North Carolina lawmakers passed legislation criticized as limiting protections for LGBT people.
Atlanta's City Council introduced a resolution at a meeting asking the NBA to consider Atlanta after North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed a law critics called discriminatory against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons.
The North Carolina law prevents Charlotte and other local governments from approving LGBT protections in such places as restaurants, hotels and stores. That state's Republican-led Legislature said Charlotte city leaders went too far with a local anti-discrimination ordinance that, among other things, would have allowed transgender people to use restrooms that align with their gender identity.
A statement from Atlanta City Council President Caesar Mitchell said his city has a welcoming spirit as a top tourist and convention draw and home to several Fortune 500 companies.
"We appreciate the invitation but are hopeful that the city of Charlotte and the state of North Carolina can work through their differences far in advance of the 2017 All-Star Game," NBA spokesman Mike Bass responded in a statement.
McRory shot back at Atlanta city leaders Tuesday night, saying North Carolina isn't the only state to pursue such legislation.
"Thankfully no college team from Georgia made the Final Four again this year. Otherwise, the Atlanta City Council would have to boycott the City of Houston where voters overwhelmingly rejected a bathroom ordinance that was nearly identical to the one rejected by State of North Carolina," said an emailed statement from McRory communications director Josh Ellis.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Monday vetoed proposed legislation that critics called discriminatory toward LGBT people. The nixed legislation would have let clergy refuse to marry same-sex couples and religious affiliated groups could have used religious beliefs as a basis to refuse service or decline a hiring.
Charlotte tourism and convention officials are concerned about backlash such as potential event cancellations, Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority CEO Tom Murray said.
"This issue is in danger of setting us back from the progress we've made in positioning Charlotte as an attractive, inclusive destination," Murray's statement said, urging leaders to find a resolution in "the best interests of our city and state."

The NBA already responded to this and said they hope the situation will get worked out for Charlotte well before the All-Star game occurs

The bold was an unnecessary shot and had nothing to do with the issue at hand, but I digress
When I made that comment, I wasn't phishing for daps. Atlanta has wanted the All Star game back in ATL since it was last here in 2003. The city has grown & changed significantly since the last time it was here and with all due respect to Charlotte, ATL is better equipped to manage and host an All Star game than Charlotte is (although I think Charlotte is a city on the verge of greatness and more than capable of hosting a successful AS Weekend in its own right)
Don't sleep on ATL actually getting it, I kno it's more than enough of us ATL Coli brehs who could actually put some shyt in motion for this to become a reality

@ breh throwing the Final Four cheap shot in there. The folks who run Charlotte not that cool with events that brings large amounts of Black people. They like the money of course but I think they allow it with twinge of anger. Kasim and crew on the other hand like fukk it. They gonna get it how they live. Wouldn't even be shocked if him or one of them other cats in that circle post on here.
