Thanks, North Carolina!

I weep for my state.

-app

Charlotte native here.



I hope that people in NC take note of how this is damaging not only NC's economy, but their reputation. Such as it is.
I now think of my own home state as being on par with Mississippi in their backwardness.

What difference can one little letter make? What difference can one little bad law make?

Paypal, Lionsgate.... I'm not usually fond of corporate activism but in this case we'll take what we can.

... I still feel awful for the people who are going to loose their jobs.

that would have gotten an influx of capital from those 100 people.

their friends. We still are a tribal society to a certain extent. You harm one,they all react. These Religious Wack Jobs just do not get it. But,it sure is evident they use the principle that "I got mine and you are not going to get any of it". When the Charlotte Observer is affected by the loss of their Professional Sports Advertisement when these Franchises fold or bail,then and only then will they speak up.

Our GOTV efforts will be in overdrive - it's the most effective way to reverse the damage they have done to this state before the stain and stench becomes permanent. Our state is better than this.

It might affect others, but lets not forget our privilege, the most harm is done to our Trans brothers and sisters and their families.

No one who knows me would ever assume that I was stepping over my friends and compatriots.

Ironically, the city pushing hardest to poach it is Atlanta, which would be in the same boat if not for Gov. Deal's veto of Georgia's homophobic bill.

take THAT home state for giving the film industry the middle finger in taxes a couple of years ago!

we were the Hollywood of the east but nope! Bigotry!

XD

When I was a kid in the 60s & 70s we were "The State of the Arts"!

But then Reagan..... and now this.

fuck the pukes.

and we deserved it. If your state wants rights to deny American citizens the rights to be American citizens, the rest of the country has an absolute right to isolate you and not beat a path to your door.

Lionsgate, PayPal, and anyone else will be happy to do business there.

So I guess in NC and Mississippi I can just plain kick these jerks OUT of my establishment..., right

is there an easy way to identify them? Just announce that you serve gays and watch them leave? Put a rainbow symbol on the door?

exclaiming their prejudices. If you're white, and of a certain age, it seems they just assume that you share their views. A few minutes of earwiggin' ought to do the trick.
