Someone who argued about it better than I could.
Quote:HB2 wipes out any and all local ordinances on discrimination and pay.
So, if Fayetteville or Jacksonville want to pass an ordinance offering service members and veterans connected to Fort Bragg or Camp Lejeune preferred parking or an extra discount on school supplies, they can’t. HB2 makes that illegal.
So, if Asheville wants to implement a a minimum wage hike to help local workers deal with insane costs of housing in the mountains, they can’t. HB2 makes it illegal.
HB2 forbids state courts from hearing any discrimination claims at all.
So, if you get fired because you are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, female, male, whatever – you have to hire a federal lawyer and go to federal court.
So, if your wife gets paid $9 an hour to do a job a guy with 2 years less experience got paid $20, you have to hire a federal lawyer and go to federal court.
HB2 allows business and government employees to discriminate against gay people.
So, if your business wants to tell a gay person to take a hike, then HB2 is cool with that. If a government employee wants to refuse to deal with someone because they are gay, then HB2 is cool with that.
And if you are cool with that, then you better not be on here complaining about the NCAA exercising its right to pick venues in different states. You really can’t have it both ways.
Besides the fact that the argument being total 100% Grade A bull****. It is completely a false representation of what the law says. Leftist intentionally lying about what a law says or does is common place.
Maybe it would be good if you were to ACTUALLY read the law instead of listening to lies put out by special interest groups.

Basically the laws says that all GOVERNMENT/PUBLIC SECTOR (not private sector) facilities provide single sex restroom or changing areas based on the sex of the person on their birth certificate. But why should we allow facts to get in the way with liberal propaganda and lies?
It has no legal bearing on what the NCAA did. If you disagree with their position then in the future do not go to those locations.
BUT if you have an agreement in place you should be legally required to abide by that deal.
I live in NC, I know exactly what the law does. It's about way more than bathrooms and locker rooms, but perhaps if YOU would read the law you might understand, then again maybe not. It prevents local communities from enacting laws that protect LGBT rights. That is about WAY more than bathrooms.
As for the contracts, I'm quite certain the NCAA has escape clauses built in. It's amazing how people cheer when an athlete loses a sponsor for taking a political stance, but when the shoe is on the other foot, it's suddenly a travesty.
Frankly, I want the NCAA to hold its championships here. It hurts the economy of the state I live in. Cary, NC is 15 minutes from my house, they are going to lose several championship events.
I'll refer you to Mike DeCourcy's article, he states things more eloquently than I can.

No it keeps local government from going after companies who do not agree with their PC position. As we have seen in the past activist will by pass company after company who agree with their position to seek out one who does not. Just to force the company to change it's views or run them out of business. We have even seen activist cross state lines in order to go after a company which does not share their views.
There is not a single item in the law which violates anyone's right or is discriminatory in way shape or form.
Unless you're one those transgender or gay freaks, who don't deserve rights anyway ... isn't that what you mean?
The law restricts communities from creating anti discrimination protections, in your mind I guess, that in and of itself is not discrimination.
Since you are so concerned about local governments going after companies ... let's recount the list of companies that have protested HB2. Paypal, Google, the NFL, NHL, Starbucks, Facebook, Twitter, Uber, American Airlines, Hilton, Citibank, I could keep going ...
These companies realize discrimination is bad for business. The morons who run NC do not and just keep watching jobs and money leave the state because of this issue.
Pat McCrory is going to be defeated in this election, and it will all because of his handling of the HB2 issue. I am certain he would win without that issue.
