Haha North Carolina! 
I couldn’t think of a better place to stick this.
Yup. McCrory called the response to this bill “political theater,” but I figure when you book the stage and audition the cast and write the script, you can’t complain about opening night.
Right now, the three main boycott actions have been against the Highpoint Furniture Show (take that, interior decorators!), against Wicked and other Broadway shows coming to NC (take that, musical theater workers!), and against Charlotte (take that, city that tried to do the right thing!) While I wish the boycott’s damage were a little more fine-tuned, I think it’s completely necessary for McCrory and the rest of the assholes to see that promoting bigotry doesn’t just damage the LGBT community, it damages their rich friends as well. Damages the whole state.
Already some lawmakers are talking about changing the bill. It’s likely they’ll try to leave the bathroom measures in place but remove some of the other pernicious traits of the bill; we need to keep the pressure on them until November, when we find them new places to work.
I see I’m late to this party but…
I don’t know if anyone else but me knows this, but there are - no, really - about a brazillion places you can go to on the Internet to see everything you could possibly see by peeping in a restroom, in perfect privacy, with little risk (viruses aside). I think - I HOPE - most “pervs” know that as well. And are there really that many rapists who want to try it in such a frequently frequented public space?
I say that I like the idea of unisex restrooms with floor-to-ceiling stalls with locking doors, and a row of urinals behind a wall. I think all future restrooms should be designed that way. As for the existing ones, here’s my solution: elect Bernie Sanders. Heck, I’m sure he could create a new WPA for the purpose of retrofitting old bathrooms.
To be fair, there are plenty of places I can see naked people on the internet, but I much prefer to see naked people IRL, preferably in my bed. Which is to say, sure there are peeping videos, hidden cam videos, whatever…but it ain’t the same.
Of course not. But it’s terrifying, and that makes people far overestimate the risk.
Interestingly enough I’ve read that sexual crimes in general have dropped fairly dramatically since the advent of Internet pornagraphy and it’s accessibility.
I don’t like asparagus. I don’t want it. In fact I hate it. Therefore any restaurant that serves asparagus harms me. I hate lots of things. I see lots of new laws to protect me from all that harm. :rolleyes:
You can’t think of people in poly marriages who have wanted to marry legally? Never in our history?
Um, sonny, didja notice that I was discussing gender-segregated bathrooms, not transgenders or any of the recent laws? So do you think having mens and womens rooms is hatred of the opposite sex and should be banned so we can all use the same restroom?
Thanks for jumping in on a conversation you don’t understand.
Let’s confine this to that other thread.
Just found that thread, thanks. Will do.
