When I go to Walmart and must go to the ladies room I appreciate HB2, not that I have anything against gays or transgenders but because i know all this was started by pedophiles and perverts so they would have more freedom and they were merely using transgenders and gays to do it. HB2 makes me feel a little more secure about going to the ladies room. If you ladies ever see a cell phone on the floor no doubt your picture is being taken...just stomp it until it is broken..you have the right. They don't have the right to take your picture.

So all of you who think HB2 is discriminating against gays and transgenders...no it is keeping women and children safe from predators...perverts and pedophiles...the scum of the earth.

Don't make it something it isn't giving the predators easy pickings.

I had several glittering conservatives tell me this wouldn't happen. Where did they go?

Huge economic consequences. A terrible burden has been put on this state in the name of absolute bigotry.

There are plenty of other states with the same law. The nba could just be using NC as an excuse to move to a larger venue. You people act like NC is the lone ranger of America. We're not.

It isn't Charlotte's fault. LOL.




Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski condemned the state of North Carolina's House Bill 2 on Wednesday, calling the law that directly affects lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people "embarrassing."

"It's an embarrassing bill," Krzyzewski told USA Today Sports. "That's all I'm going to say about it."

NC State coach Mark Gottfried also said that he is "appalled" by the bill.

"I'm against any law that allows discrimination, whether that's based on race, gender, sexual orientation," Gottfried told USA Today Sports. "I don't understand how someone can support this. I think the people at NC State, we believe in inclusion. Being a resident of the state, for me and my family, it's been frustrating."

Gottfried added that it is a difficult topic when parents ask him about HB2 during recruiting trips.

North Carolina's Roy Williams and Elon's Matt Matheny are among other men's basketball coaches in the state to express displeasure with the bill.

I believe you mean Governor McCrooky. He is the one who rammed this bill through in the dead of night, being all hush hush and ****.

he NBA is pulling the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte over North Carolina's controversial House Bill 2, which requires that people use public bathrooms corresponding to their birth gender and excludes the LGBT community from non-discrimination protections, according to media reports.
