N.C. Governor Signs Executive Order to Appease LGBT Community and Other Critics
The New American ^ | 13 April 2016 | by Raven Clabough

Posted on 04/14/2016 2:35:31 PM PDT by detective

On Tuesday, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory (shown) caved to pressure from big businesses and the LGBT community and signed an executive order to change the state’s recently passed LGBT law that barred local governments from extending protections to gay and transgender individuals and mandated that individuals use bathrooms based on the biological sex that appears on their birth certificates. Unfortunately for the governor, the order failed to appease the law's critics and has provoked criticism from the law's supporters.

What Donald Trump has shown us more than anything is that if you don’t fold, stand your ground, eventually goes away.

Would love to see just one politician stand up to the LGBT fascists.

No, he didn’t “cave” or let the LGBT have their way...

In an effort to address concerns raised by critics, McCrory’s executive order establishes protections for state employees against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and calls on legislators to reinstate the right to sue for discrimination. The executive order does not, however, address the provision that requires people to use the bathroom based on the gender with which they are born, though the bathroom provision is considered by critics to be the most controversial portion of the law.

You can’t appease tyrants ... and do not be fooled: even when they aren’t actually in public office, leftists are tyrants. All of them. Leftism is totalitarian, and leftism is tyranny.

This will not end without bloodshed.

This was to be expected based on his silence during the days after the bill was signed.

Similar to Mike Pence in Indiana, he stabbed in the back others who stepped forward to defend the bill.

He’s about to learn that liberals take no prisoners.

Y’all need to read the article...He only said that employers could not discriminate by race, gender, or sexual persuasion...It is intended for hiring and firing purposes...

The restroom, shower, dressing room law DID NOT change....

you wonder what kind of future a country has where this is even under discussion, no less being passed in many places.

amorality is a disease which a president will find difficult to cure

The Gov expected a different reaction?

Stand strong, stand tall, don't cave.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, North Carolina Governor Pat McRory...this is why Social Conservatives lose. We elect Republican Governors with absolutely no backbone.
