RALEIGH – The Civitas Institute today praised state lawmakers and Gov. Pat McCrory for passing HB 2, which among other things protects the privacy rights of women and children and the rights of business owners, by repealing a Charlotte ordinance that would allow men access to women’s locker rooms, showers and restrooms.
The General Assembly spent Wednesday hearing comments and debating the proposed legislation, passed HB 2 in both chambers, then sent the bill to Gov. McCrory’s desk for signature Wednesday evening. He signed it late Wednesday evening.
“The Charlotte City Council overstepped its boundaries, and since Attorney General Roy Cooper refused to address the unlawfulness of this ordinance, the General Assembly was forced to address it in a special session,” Francis De Luca, president of the Civitas Institute, said. “Thankfully Governor McCrory has fulfilled his promise to take swift action and sign this legislation that will protect women and children and the rights of business owners.”

Founded in 2005, the Civitas Institute is a Raleigh, NC-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit policy organization committed to creating a North Carolina whose citizens enjoy liberty and prosperity derived from limited government, personal responsibility and civic engagement. To that end, Civitas develops and advocates for conservative policy solutions to improve the lives of all North Carolinians.

How will this work? Will cameras be placed in public toilet fixtures to monitor gender compliance? This sounds like a really creepy move by the authoritarian police state Civitas Institute supports. Who will be the beneficiary of such personal invasion of privacy, freedom and liberty? What will the fine be for peeing in a restroom that complies with your identity? What evidence will be presented in court?
What was the total cost of implementing, enforcing and defending the law in court?

Beautiful “women” peeing in the urinal beside you. Well done republicans!
Your add on legislation regarding the minimum wage is a slap in the face to lower class republicans. Just the thing Donald Trump supporters are mad about. Again, well done republicans!
This is a great law because we will be in violation of a title IV federal education nondiscrimination law. North Carolina could lose $4.5 billion in federal funding which will accelerate the failure of public schools. Hallelujah, we will be able to make a stronger case for privatizing education in NC.
This is the Loonie Larry,not the smart one.

This is what happens when you pass these sick laws.Thanks to Pinto for link.
Lonnie,
Q: How will this work?
A: Very much the way things worked before you bathroom bandits tried to impose your fascist fantasies on us.
Q: Will cameras be placed in public toilet fixtures to monitor gender compliance?
A: No. That was *your* plan, but now those plans have been thwarted.
Q: Who will be the beneficiary of such personal invasion of privacy, freedom and liberty?
A: Well, I’m sure *you* would have liked to look at lots of footage of girls and women undressing on the grounds that you had to “make sure” the sexually predatory guys pretending to be gals were being allowed to undress in the same locker rooms, wouldn’t you?
Q: What will the fine be for peeing in a restroom that complies with your identity?
A: None, unless you’re a mentally ill guy with delusions of being a gal and somebody happens to see your wiener hanging out.
Q: What evidence will be presented in court?
A: The testimony of anyone who sees your wiener hanging out, and your own retarded rants about how it’s so “unfair” that you’re not allowed to flash your wiener at females just because you allegedly suffer from the delusion that you are one.
Q: What was the total cost of implementing, enforcing and defending the law in court?
A: Pretty much zilch, until you bathroom bandits came around trying to impose your fascist fantasies on the rest of us. I think we should sue you parasites and your hate groups for all your extortion and racketeering.

You seem to have quite an obsession with penises. Most public restrooms have privacy stalls or screens.
The reality is most restrooms would just be relabeled as I saw in restaurants in Maine and men,women or transgender enter the next available. This is about hyping bigotry and hate amoung evangical voters for the fall election.
There you go with hate again,Gomer.The only thing I hate is people that keep typing the same stupid junk to every argument.You could say the sun is not coming up tomorrow,and instead of debating the point,old Lonnie would come back with Plutocrats,Authoritians,bigotry,and on and on.This is always when he has been caught in a lie,which is about every time he writes.
70 per cent ,Gomer.Do you understand that.
Lonnie,
You seem awfully obsessed with getting penises into the women’s restrooms, come Hell or high water. The very fact that screens and stalls keep anyone from knowing if some delusional freak convinced that he’s a woman is taking a piss demonstrates that the bathroom ordinance your charlatans in Charlotte tried to cram down everyone’s throat was completely unnecessary, and therefore served no purpose but stirring up leftard bigotry and hatred (like yours) against all the decent and ordinary people of North Carolina a few months ahead of the general election. (Came in a little late for the primaries, didn’t you, gaystapo goose-steppers?)
Another refutation against lyin’ Lonnie and his gaystapo goose-stepper fake-gender-pushing bathroom bandits:

Fight back.Let’s become pot bangers like Lonnie.Boycott target.Phone number and website are below.
The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of Target after the retail giant said it would allow men to use the women’s restrooms and dressing rooms in their stores.
On its web site this week, Target announced, “[W]e welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity. …Everyone deserves to feel like they belong.”
This means a man can simply say he “feels like a woman today” and enter the women’s restroom…even if young girls or women are already in there.
Target’s policy is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims. And with Target publicly boasting that men can enter women’s bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?
Clearly, Target’s dangerous new policy poses a danger to wives and daughters. We think many customers will agree. And we think the average Target customer is willing to pledge to boycott Target stores until it makes protecting women and children a priority.
One solution is a common-sense approach and a reasonable solution to the issue of transgendered customers: a unisex bathroom. Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex bathroom option should be provided.
Take Action
Sign the pledge to boycott Target now! Target should not allow men to enter the women’s restrooms and dressing rooms.
After you sign the pledge, contact Target and let them know you’ve signed the Pledge. Call Target Guest Relations at 1-800-440-0680.

The public is not buying your hate, most families personally know or have a family member in the LBGT community. Prince just died who was a creative genius that represented blurred gender citizens.
The media had been dealing with this subject in comedy and drama for at least two decades now.
NC conservatives are out of step with society. They can walk this back in the next few weeks or let it define them in the fall which was what conservatives originally wanted but missed judged the backlash.
Lying Lonnie,
You are going to see the backlash and you are not going to like it.The public is not buying your hate and your fearmongering,or your false Narrative.70% of the public think you are full of what makes the grass grow.The Gimmedat party is going to get a licking like Reagan gave them.
