Dems file to repeal HB 2

By Joe Killian [e-mail] | Updated 1 hour ago

RALEIGH — A group of Democratic lawmakers filed Monday to repeal House Bill 2 — the law signed last month which excludes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from statewide anti-discrimination protections and requires transgender people to use restrooms matching the sex on their birth certificate.

“I say it to my children all the time,” said N.C. Rep. Darren Jackson (D-Wake). “It is never too late to do the right thing.”

“
“This is not a bathroom bill, but there is a lot of stuff in there that ought to be thrown in the outhouse.”

—Rev. William Barber, state president of the NAACP

The bill, co-sponsored by Jackson, Grier Martin (D-Wake) Graig Meyer (D-Orange) and Susi Hamilton (D-New Hanover) would also appropriate $545,000 to fund the state Human Relations Commission.

1. I have a question about this idiocy

If a person dressed as a woman, or a person dressed as a man, go into a bathroom, who's going to check and see that they're not? Are there gender police in all the bathrooms ready to do strip searches on everyone? And what happens if they're wrong?

2. Of course there no way to enforce the idiocy

essentially, the bill is a Trojan horse for other forms of discrimination, and an assault on workers rights.
