PayPal Drops Plan to Build $3.6M Facility in NC Because of Controversial Law [LGBT Blackmail!]
By Susanna Kim Apr 5, 2016,
PayPal announced today that it's withdrawing plans to build a new facility in North Carolina, the first major corporation to pull out of the state as a result of what some call an "anti-LGBT" law there.
Two weeks ago, California-based PayPal announced plans to open a $3.6 million global operations center in
Charlotte that would have created more than 400 jobs. But today, PayPal CEO Dan Schulman said the company is seeking another location.
"The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture," Schulman said in a statement today.
Schulman is referring to House Bill 2, formally known as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, which Gov. Pat McCrory signed last month. The law bans people from using bathrooms that don't match the sex indicated on their birth certificates, which opponents argue is discriminatory toward the transgender community.
In response to the bill's passage, dozens of business leaders have signed a letter to McCrory and state lawmakers that seeks a repeal of the law. LGBT advocacy group Human Rights Campaign coordinated the effort.

3.6 millions is not a large operation. That is the price of about 4 houses in Chicago!
Aha!
Another homosexual agenda outfit to steer clear of!
Yup.
Protecting the states kids from exposure to the mental nutjobs and those who will pretend to be them to prey on them is worth it.
Hilariously ironic that it affected Charlotte since Charlotte was the city that started all this madness.
Ha, ha—Gaypal! Snigger... [And yet another business to avoid completely!]
Yay stay out!
Good. Less headaches for NC.
Wow, that was close. NC is so blessed that they didnt build. Thank God !
We need about 35-40 other states to pass the same law.
Drop Pay pal. It can work both ways
I used PayPal once in 2001, and once recently.
No more.
The likes of Schulman had it too good for too long.
Chosen but... for what?
We just cancelled two PayPal accounts.
Top comment: “Make Hate Pay!”
My reply: “Sure, because Christian bakers must be FORCED to bake cakes for homosexual “weddings” or else! Even if there are ten other bakers in that town, even on that street. Bake the cake, or else! Those uppity Christians must be FORCED to kneel before the homosexual agenda! And of course any biological male who feels female (or says he does) on any given day MUST be allowed to use the girls bathroom and locker room and showers. If you daughters have a problem with big hairy men (excuse me, women “in their minds” that day) sharing the showers with them, tough luck! Get over it!”
(Jump into the ABC comment thread, it’s brand new.)
3 points! Har! You’d think a debit card would work better...
We need to make certain that all of PayPal's Muslim customers are aware of their support for Homosexuality, and that Pay Pal's Chief Executive Officer Blasphemes against the prophet Mohammed on a regular basis.
Seriously, we need to sic a bunch of Head Choppers on their @$$e$. The Muslim world needs to be awoken against these blasphemous Western Corporations.
