Economic boycotts and pressure is effective. It got Arizona to recognize Martin Luther King day in the late 1980s.

Up until then it was unofficially James Earl Ray day.


They can also be used for evil too. Tyranny of the majority. I was disgusted when conservatives caused Starbucks stock to plummet.

Pretty sure it's still unofficially James Earl Ray day.

/e how're those boycotts working out for Hobby Lobby and Chick Fil A? Pretty sure they're laughing all the way to the bank from the publicity.

Read earlier that the estimated amount of revenue that the city(business/government) would receive is 100 million.

Ouch. I kind of agree with Trump on the transgender bathroom issue, it seemed like an unnecessary issue to focus on.

Would you be saying that if one of those freaks was trying to stare at YOUR daughter?

That's about the best the hardline crowd has.

In September 2012, The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) announced that Chick-fil-A has "ceased donating to organizations that promote discrimination, specifically against LGBT civil rights". According to the TCRA, Chick-fil-A officials stated in an internal document that they "will treat every person equally, regardless of sexual orientation."[66]

In a letter from Chick-fil-A's Senior Director of Real Estate, the company stated: "The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas."



They did make some pretty good money from the boycott too, so they got it coming and going.

It's a shame, but North Carolina Republicans did this to themselves. It's entirely self-inflicted.

I think it's fair enough to let them use the bathroom they choose given that, if they choose the bathroom opposite to what their biological gender is, they have to at least be on hormone treatment and look like a member of that sex.

Better yet, we should stop encouraging people to live a trans lifetsyle. It is a mental illness and a delusional. You CANNOT be trans in reality.

I think it's pointless to address the issue. Trans people will use whatever bathroom is comfortable, and hopefully sensible. A biological dude who looks like a girl(Churchgirl for instance?) probably should go in the girls room. I don't accept it as something to be promoted as normal, but that doesn't mean we need to create problems.
