    Way to go, North Carolina, fight the good fight. Fight to make sure you're on the wrong side of history, fight to make sure more companies back out of your state and your economy suffers as a result, fight the losing battle that brands you as a backwoods state stuck in the previous century. Good freakin' job...

    It's like a blind man walking towards a cliff edge, everyone around him is shouting to him to not take another step and he argues that he has the right to act as he sees fit. On his way down, it dawns on him that he is in fact blind and maybe he should have listened after all...

    You know, I seriously thought they would back down and admit their mistakes once the "big guys" stepped in... but look at this, why correct your mistakes when you can scream even louder? It's the American way! They can go found their own Discrimi-Nation somewhere else: Hopefully their own evil lair on the bottom of the ocean.

    Anyways they've already been called out and the ones who agree with them are gradually losing power: I'm pretty sure these nutcases won't win, just like how if I tried to make a law to keep Republicans out of public restrooms it would be discriminatory as well, just possibly necessary at the same time. :lol:

    Huh, so now it looks like another case, that will probably work its way from US District court, and probably get appealed, then go to the Circuit Court level, and maybe the Supreme Court...let's just hope that if it does, Trump is not in power, because he has said he intends (if elected) to appoint another justice, "...In the mold of Scalia".

    I wonder how long this will drag out...

    Yes, North Carolina.
    Just dig your hole deeper. :bang:

    This whole thing will be seen as a blight in NC's history in the future, I promise you.

    Quite a while, I'd imagine.

    I... feel bad for you, having to live there. That's saying a lot, since I'm in the core of the "Bible belt"...
