You must have heard about the new North
Carolina “bathroom law.”
The law makes hatred legal in North
Carolina.
In plain language, it says that
transgender people can’t use the public bathroom of their choice. In fact, it
says that everyone must use the labeled bathroom that matches their physical
sexual organs at birth.
The law can’t be enforced, unless the
state assigns 24/7 guards with authority to require all users to drop their
pants or lift their skirts for inspection before entering the bathroom.
Enforcement wasn’t the point, of
course.
The point was to officially hate
transgender people.
I wonder how many transgender people
are in the families of North Carolina legislators? I wonder how many folks in
North Carolina are playing pickup basketball or having lunch or sharing a
carpool with transgender people every day?
Why isn’t every public watchdog news
media organization in America pointing at the North Carolina Republicans and
laughing?
I think the answer is: it’s not a laughing matter.
