RECENTLY PASSED DURING A SPECIAL SESSION AND SIGNED BY THE

GOVERNOR.

3 INDIVIDUALS AND TO ADVOCACY GROUPS HAVE DECIDED TO SUE AS

THEY FILED A LAWSUIT EARLY MONDAY MORNING IN FEDERAL COURT,

CHALLENGING A LAW THAT NULLIFIED LOCAL LGBT RIGHTS ORDINANCES ñ

LET'S GO TO THE NEXT GRAPHIC ñ

SO THAT IS WHAT THE LAWSUIT SAYS. I THINK THIS LAWSUIT MAKES

ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

DECIDED TO PASS CERTAIN LAWS

FOR LGBT PEOPLE LIVING IN A COMMUNITY, THEY WANTED TO

MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN USE THE RESTROOMS THAT THEY

IDENTIFIED WITH.

BUT STATE LAWMAKERS GOT INVOLVED AND DECIDED, NO, WE WANT TO

CALL A SPECIAL SESSION, SPEND $42,000

A DAY TO MAKE SURE THAT CHARLOTTE CANNOT DO THAT.

IT IS IRONIC IN THAT THE WAY THEY ARE FIGHTING BACK IS

TO SAY THAT YOU CANNOT PROTECT ANYBODY WHO IS NOT ALREADY

PROTECTED, WHEN MANY OF THOSE REPUBLICANS HATE THAT THOSE

GROUPS ARE PROTECTED.

THEY ARE USING A LAW THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO OVERTURN TO

STOP PEOPLE FROM BEING PROTECTED.

THIS IS THE MOST ANTI- TRANS LAW THAT HAS BEEN PASSED, THE LEVEL

OF FEAR ABOUT PEOPLE ñ IF CHARLOTTE SALAH BECAME

NATIONWIDE, YOU ARE PROBABLY NEVER GOING TO EVEN KNOW THAT

YOU SHARED A BATHROOM WITH

SOMEONE WHO IS TRANS.

LET'S SAY YOU ARE DEALING WITH A TRANSGENDERED WOMAN WHO,

OR A MAN I SHOULD SAY, SOMEONE

WHO IS BORN A MAN ñ SOMEONE WHO IS BORN OF A WOMAN AND

ELEPHANT COMMAND AND IDENTIFIED AS A MAN.

THAT PERSON NOW HAS USED THE RESTROOM BASED ON WHAT IS

ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

SO IF I AM A WOMAN IN A WOMAN'S BATHROOM, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

SOMEONE COMES IN AND THIS PERSON

APPEARS TO BE A MAN, WHEN THAT MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE?

WOULDN'T THAT POSE SOME CONCERNS?

IT IS REALLY INTERESTING THAT THEY HAVE DECIDED THAT WHAT YOU

ARE BORN AS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU DECIDE YOU

ARE OR WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.

ALL THIS IS COULD BE ENDED BY UNISEX BATHROOMS.

UNISEX BATHROOMS EXIST IN A LOT OF PLACES, IT APPARENTLY WORKS.

APPARENTLY THAT DOESN'T MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE.

UNISEX BATHROOMS DO EXIST.

I HAVE BEEN IN THOSE BATHROOMS SEVERAL TIMES, I'VE NEVER SEEN

ANY HANKY-PANKY OR UNCOMFORTABLE ñ

YOU NEVER JUST STOOD AND LOOK AT SOMEONE WHILE THEY WERE BEING?

IS FOR IDEA OF MAKING THE TRANSGENDERED COMMUNITY AS

THESE PREDATORS WHO ARE LYING ABOUT THEIR IDENTITY JUST

SO THAT THEY CAN USE THE WRONG BATHROOM IS RIDICULOUS.

THE FACT THAT THEY WASTED TAXPAYER MONEY TO CALL A SPECIAL

SESSION TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN CONTINUE TO

DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE LGBT COMMUNITY IS LUDICROUS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M HESITANT TO SAY THAT SOME

OF THESE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT ACTUALLY AS SCARED OF

SOMETHING AS THEY SAY, BECAUSE THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE

SCARED OF A LOT OF THINGS, THIS IS NOT PRIMARILY ABOUT

BATHROOMS, THIS IS ABOUT ENSHRINING INTO THE LIES

MUCH RESTRICTION ON THIS GROUP THAT YOU CAN, WHILE YOU CAN.

AS THEY LOSE MORE OF THEIR ANTI-GAY LAWS, AS THOSE GET

STRUCK DOWN AS ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL, THEY KNOW

THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE IN

THE LONG RUN, YOU HAVE TO GET STUCK IN THE LAWN OUTDUELED

OUT AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

IT IS A SAD FINAL LEGACY FOR A LOT OF THESE POLITICIANS.
