As someone who lives in a state that was held hostage by economic terrorism by a much stronger group that the LGBTXGET@&!%5w4GT%7 or whatever they are called now........trust me when I say this will pass, it will pass quickly, and when you look back on it you will laugh as much as we in SC have laughed at how well our own boycott went over after the first Black Bike Week.

Family bathrooms. Easy fix.

Not enough for them. transgenders won't be excluded from using the bathroom of their choice.

Today, Maroon 5 cancelled both their NC shows.
The Ironman has announced that 200 of their participants have decided to compete in another state.

This week Itzak Perlman cancelled a show with the North Carolina Symphony.

This story has legs. Long legs. Strong legs.

These morons are costing us a fortune. I hear there may be a deal in the works that involves the Charlotte City Council taking a step back and in turn the NCGA following that gesture doing the same. Two problems though, will there be a LGBTS backlash from this strategic step back, and can they trust the NCGA to hold up their end of the bargain?

You were well informed. The Charlotte Chamber, which appears to be under the control of homophobes, is trying to get the City Council to repeal the ordinance. But the state legislature isn't going to prohibit discrimination against LGBT persons in private employment or with taxpayer funds. Nor will there be any compromise that isn't transphobic. If anything, a repeal by the City Council, done completely without consulting the LGBT community, will remove any constraint on boycotting NC and Charlotte.

Basically, this deal isn't going to stop the protests unless it's a really good one from the perspective of the LGBT community. And seeing as no one in the LGBT community was consulted on this deal, I'll bet it will be so weak as to be laughable. And if Charlotte repeal its ordinance then hb2 is struck down, the Charlotte bill won't be reinstayed.

It's been over a month since the last protest I could find in the news. This has come and gone.

All they had to do was send a memo to their store managers saying

"because of the law in x state please be sensitive to transsexual people trying to use the restroom.

if a customer complains inform them that because we are a nationwide company we have to have protocols for the transsexual community. And that the complainer can use the family restroom if they are concerned. Be polite and sensitive to everyone's feelings"

That, in a nut shell, could have saved Target a lot of greif over this whole thing. But they are losing more money than North Carolina and the SJW's don't care. No friend is so loved that they can't be burned at the alter of social justice.

This article talks about targets bathroom blunder, and other issues the company had. (They recently bought back a chunk of stock to prop up the P/E ratio.)

People can go back and read Nostradamus toms' prediction of what would happen to walmarts stock last week.
