North Carolina Passes Law Blocking Measures To Protect LGBT People

Governments shouldn't discriminate but private entities should be allowed to. It is called freedom of association. Look it up. It's in the Constitution and everything

Really?

You think that businesses should be able to refuse service to someone based on a sexual preference? Race? Religion?
 
What drives me nuts is the immediate judgment that people using these bathrooms could be sexual predators. That being transgender links to sexual crime. Maybe I'm naive but that seems illogical.

It is illogical. Many non-transgender people are sexual predators. In fact, I would wager that transgender people are less likely to be sexual predators.

do you mean the same way that carrying a gun makes one a potential mass murderer? because that also seems illogical.
 
It allows people who would seek to prey to freely use the wrong bathrooms under the guise of playing dress up.
That's the problem.
 
yes, and as long as people continue to support that kind of discrimination, I see no reason to support extra protections for special groups

You have the right to take your business to a gun-friendly establishment. How can you support the shoes, shirt or backpack prohibitions but not the gun?

It's a specious argument. Offhand I don't know how much preying goes on in bathrooms but I'd bet the vast majority is not by transgenders.

I didn't mention transgender did I ?
Ordinary perverts could use the wrong bathroom under "protection" rules. Transgender need not have begun mutilation.

Correct, you didn't say transgender. Anyhoo, when was the last time you heard of someone being preyed upon in a bathroom?

I remember George Michael and Larry Craig in bathrooms looking for sex but not sure if that falls under the definition of preying.
