NC checking in. There are several issues with your treatment of the debate around HB2, the most egregious being perpetuation of the claim that the core intent of this bill was to limit bathroom access in the first place. I would like to direct readers attention to the portions of the bill that prevent cities in North Carolina from setting their own discrimination standards or setting a city-wide minimum wage, and most especially the section that strips citizens ability to file suit for discrimination in state courts. Furthermore I think it's important to highlight the fact that this bill was rammed through in ~12 hours during a special session with no prior debate.
- brightball 10y agoDidn't ignore it. That's exactly what I meant by people willing to ignore all of the other things that were in the bill.
- knieveltech 10y agoThat wasn't clear from my initial read-through. Thanks for clarifying your position.
- brightball 10y agoNo problem. I'm in SC and we have a state senator trying to pull the same thing but he's thankfully be completely shot down.
