I once thought comedy writing was an art form, not so much now - thank you kindly North Carolina (NC) and Mississippi (MS). According to the annual State of the States survey, these two states are ranked 38th and 50th respectively. On the back of their poor socioeconomic ratings, any sane person would recommend these states concentrate on resembling a first world nation, instead of being obsessed about people's anatomy. I guess alleviating poverty (which should be the number one priority) will be eradicated if people are shamed for what identity they choose. Targeting the transgender community is not befitting of a modern society, period. I get that many American social conservatives are religious militants (especially in the area of trampling on LGBT rights), which makes it even more perplexing as to why they are oppose refugees from parts of the world that align with their views.
Unless you have been hiding under a rock, most form of abuse against children takes place in the family home. The bathroom may look sexy on paper to gain the media's lens, however we all know (right this second) there is a next of kin out there destroying a kids life behind a white picket fence - how about a law that targets uncles and fathers instead of bathrooms? Sadly monitoring toilet use comes before saving a child's innocence. The word 'family' is what sleazy scripture quoting politicians use to gain votes from the God-fearing. Many themselves have affairs and are divorced (case in point: Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama), something the bible is stricter on than sexual orientation, but they continue preaching hatred to brainwash a public lacking in critical thinking skills.
The Republican party must condemn any elected official from enacting archaic laws, Lincoln would not stand for such crudeness and backward thinking, in fact today's GOP would brandish him too liberal. He would be proud of the many companies boycotting NC and the likes of Bruce Springsteen (cancelled his concert in Greensboro). The great cultural icon understands what America is all about, definitely not a nation hell-bent on controlling ones body. If someone born in 1949 can be open-minded, than shame on those of a younger generation turning to ideals best left to medieval times. The passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 allowed all the bigots (across the political spectrum) to find safety under the Republican umbrella. 50 years later they are still as stubborn as ever; preaching hatred, despising the downtrodden and having a worldview best left in the stone-age.
I never knew I would utter the following sentence: Texas looks somewhat modern compared to NC and MS. We have America's liberal bastion of Austin to thank (the irony's not lost, as it's home to the Texas Capitol building - a place where modernity dies everyday). Dallas may have been the last major city to desegregate (a national embarrassment), but has no laws enforcing bathroom activity and over time has strengthened its anti discrimination laws. This will no doubt fail to stop First Baptist from belting out malice towards minorities (under the guise of compassionate Christianity) - I warned you comedy writers, you are doomed!
PS. Special shout-out to the Governor of Pennsylvania (Tom Wolf) for rising above his primitive counterparts. On April 7th Wolf signed two anti discrimination executive orders. They expand protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender expression or identity (covering state employees and employees of businesses who are contracted by the state).
