North Carolina governor’s misleading claim about his executive order and the LGBT law


North Carolina has become a battleground for LGBT rights after the state passed an anti-discriminatory law that excluded protections for discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The law is best known for requiring transgender people to use the bathroom in public buildings that match the gender on their birth certificate.

The backlash was swift and intense.

Juvenile potty games, and those who insist on playing politics regarding them -- how can anyone take them seriously? There are only two genders; Male and Female -- and which you are is unmistakeably obvious, every time you take a shower.

All the rest of this “gender-identity” crap is nothing but a pathetic fantasy trip, engaged in by a bunch of very confused and misguided people who actually believe that “gender is defined by how they feel, instead of what they are.

This is just one more piece of proof, as to how very unhinged our society has become in the last 65 years. And this is another great leap, down the road to Sodom.
