Council Member Kenny Smith said that he does not feel it is appropriate for people who are biologically of the opposite sex to share such a private and personal space as a restroom.
“I am not comfortable taking my six-year-old daughter into the men’s room, nor is it acceptable for me to go into the women’s room,” he stated. “And I think I should have full faith and confidence as I send my daughter into the restroom, who’s in that restroom.”
Council Member Al Austin, a homosexual, disagreed with those who expressed hesitation and stated that those council members were lagging behind on civil rights.
“[I]f you want to know about people being discriminated against because they are LGBT, it’s a bad feeling going into a restaurant and being asked to turn around,” he stated.
“It is evil to allow men into women’s restrooms,” Adam Tennant told those gathered. “You’re going to stand before a holy God on the day of judgment.”
“This small minority of people want to use the government to bully and overcome the majority and overcome the law of God,” said Ante Pavkovic.
“Anti-discrimination laws exist to protect people, not your religious beliefs,” asserted Barbara Green. “Keep your faith but do what is right.”
Before a vote took place, city council decided by a majority to remove the restroom requirement section from the bill. However, it didn’t solve contentions as some council members who had supported the bill now stated they couldn’t vote for the proposal without the restroom protections.
Therefore, the measure was then voted down 6-5 as some opposed the ordinance altogether, and some opposed the compromise.

Yeah, sure. If I were a betting man, I'd lay 10-to-1 that this has not happened since the 1970s.
“Keep your faith but do what is right.”
By voting “NO” they did....
What a bunch of sorry asses in Charlotte that it was even THAT close.
Friends, we have lost the country and ourselves. I do not recognize what passes of knowledge and logic...I do not even want to live with people who think like that.
Disgust is a vile tasting regurge.
Free speech. Arms. Protection against self-incrimination.
Those are civil rights.
Using the wrong restroom is not in the same universe as civil rights, especially when mental illness is the underlying cause.
Bathrooms are for waste disposal. A man needs to attend to male waste disposal in a male restroom. A woman needs to attend to female waste disposal in a female restroom. Beyond that, your preference, lifestyle, culture, diversions, fetish, or fantasies in life don’t matter. Get into the rest room....dump what you got, and get on with your business. If you think it’s for anything beyond waste disposal....check back with Roman technology and what started the process of waste disposal.
That this madness ever came to a vote shows how far our civilization has sunk.
I have decided to identify as a "tallyhosexual."
Now don't be invading my privacy by asking me what a tallyhosexual is. That is my own personal business and I expect the rest of you will be tolerant of my chosen lifestyle and that I will be accorded the special rights and privileges of being a discriminated against minority.
Now that said, I do feel that I should be given special considerations as pertains to public restrooms. I do not feel quite comfortable in the men's room, or the women's room, or the homosexual room, or the transexual room. I believe that my privacy would be violated in any and all of those places and that I would not be able to urinate, defecate, wash my hands, or even pencil my private phone number on the toilet stall door without feeling threatened by the presence of non-tallyhosexuals.
To that point, I hereby demand that all the public establishments of this nation build a restroom specifically for tallyhosexuals such as myself. Please pass the necessary laws to make it so.
Much appreciated. Tally-ho!
I would bet that it’s so rare, you can’t be sure about individual claims being true, and could probably count the number of certifiable “real” incidents with your fingers.
