PayPal cancels North Carolina expansion after new state law defies gay movement
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/06/16 | Dan Calabrese

It is happening again. They've got it down to a science and it works every time, so why should they stop?

As much as you’re paying attention to what actually happened - PayPal hops on the corporate self-righteousness/pandering bandwagon by welching on a commitment it made to expand in the state mere weeks ago - pay attention to how USA Today approaches the story, particularly the words it uses:

PayPal is canceling its planned North Carolina expansion due to the state’s new anti-gay law, just two weeks after making the initial announcement.

This morning I have been researching alternatives to paypal for my Ebay store. They have a community board where you may offer your opinion on the NC issue, and I’ve done that.

Why is a man using the lady’s room have anything to do with being gay or anti-gay?

Am I missing something here?

Honestly

There is no alternative

Even if they say their is

The best thing is to close your eBay store and move to another platform

I saw on another thread, where someone was calling out PayPal for doing business in countries where homosexuality itself is illegal and punishable under the law.

This is a good point. They are willing to do business in places which are hostile to the whole celebrate diversity celebrate LGBT liberal meme, but issue a throwdown on an American state which passes a regulation which simply reinforces the status quo on bathrooms and locker rooms.

What is the deal with Gaypal. Angie’s List, the NBA, the NFL, Hollywood, Wells Fargo, Chevron, etc. pushing this sodomite revolution on America?

And so the rest of us needs to figure out how to cancel PayPal.

I know. How about we inform all their Muslim customers in all those Muslim countries that PayPal supports Homosexuality, and that is an abomination to Islam?

We need to be forcing confrontations between Islamists and our Liberal enemies. Let them chop each other into pieces. Both sides will take damage, and perhaps one will destroy the other?

Make Liberals fight Islam. Force them into confrontations with it.

You are missing the “T” in the “LGBT” peoples alphabet.

The people involved are “transgendered”, who are predominantly biological men who “feel” they are women. So based on their “feelings”, they want to use bathrooms and locker rooms designated for biological females.

I was looking at that community board to make a comment. When I tried to log in I had to agree to make my contact information available to other users. Did you have to do that?

Since the problem with PayPal is their leadership and not the product, I propose that as many of us that have leadership potential apply for any open positions (or board member) at PayPal and infiltrate the organization where it matters.

This boycott practice is lazy and almost never produces any results. Even if the company took a 20% hit, the types of leaders that make these pro-gay decisions are so stubborn and brainwashed they will never change unless they are removed from leadership.

These groups have spent decades getting in leadership positions in our government, schools, and big businesses so they can push this crap. It’s about time we make concentrated efforts to get these people out of leadership. The products and the front line workers are not to blame, even though they are the ones that hurt the most from these boycotts.

Because all forms of sexual deviancy must be celebrated and protected - this is about the only “freedom” the new order recognizes. And it seems that especially protected are deviants who impose themselves on others. So now it is suddenly politically correct for straight (but perverted) men to spy on women in restrooms and locker rooms. The sexual revolution and civil “rights” have come down to this.

Saw this on another thread last night. I think it was a GREAT response by Forest.
***
NC Lt. Governor Dan Forest has issued a response to PayPal’s decision to not expand in Charlotte over HB2.

The expansion would have created 400 new jobs.

READ: PayPal cancels NC plans over discrimination law, costs 400 jobs

Corporations have expressed disappointment over the law and the NCAA vowed to monitor what North Carolina does next now that the state has banned any local government measures protecting people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

“If our action in keeping men out of women’s bathrooms and showers protected the life of just one child or one woman from being molested or assaulted, then it was worth it. North Carolina will never put a price tag on the value of our children. They are precious and priceless. If a corporation wanting to do business in North Carolina does not see the worth of our children in the same light, then I wish them well as they do business somewhere else,” said Forest.

1) No one stands up to them. Oh, sure, there's some who do (let's say about twice as many who are gay), but those are labeled and ostracized by the community as a whole for being homophobes.

2) Every corporate office is filled with propaganda. Safe spaces for homosexuals, unity, etc. Walk through the average Chevron cubicle city and you'll see every manager's door has the rainbow flag on a taped up piece of paper, and few family photos anywhere (that might offend) unless the employee is gay, then it is like a shrine.

3) Once they had the corporate bullpens, they could not only get financed by the corporations, but starve those few who dared not agree with them by cutting off funding. ‘How can you say you have an inclusive work place when you're funding homophobes?’

4) Actual strong economic protest would change every corporation within weeks, but boycotts of 5% of customers vs being labeled a non-inclusive workplace and maybe having a couple people show up at your doorstep with a rainbow flag wins. Reason why boycotts are utter failures is many feel guilty protesting homosexuality - it's not their business what two adults do, love the sinner, hate the sin, etc.

So there you go, that's how it was done. Once gays were able to create absolute (approved) rainbow harmony in corporate America, they had the ultimate weapon: We will say you've lied, gone back on your promises to include us, that you're homophobic... And of course back it up with lawsuits for discrimination in the workplace.

Until we have some major broadly supported figures who actually stand up to all the PC crap, they will remain in this lockstep formation.

The Gaystapo is fully entrenched

It is long past asking (nicely) for acceptance, to forced acquiescence
