RALEIGH — Gov. Pat McCrory on Tuesday issued an executive order that changes two provisions in the controversial LGBT-protections law, and reaffirms private sector and local government rights to enact their own non-discrimination policies.

In a statement his office released, the governor said the order was necessary because of widespread confusion about the intent of the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act. The law has led to substantial opposition from major companies, and hundreds of quantifiable lost jobs.

Remember last year, Gov. Daniels in Indiana, was beaten down by the media and liberals over Indiana’s religious freedom restoration law??? And he asked the legislature to water down the law??

Is the same sort of thing now happening in NC???

If so then the LGBT juggernaut is more powerful than we may have realized...

We know how it goes.
We know how it generally ends.

The Washington Redskins should re-name their team "The Washington Cavemen" in honor of the Republicans.

Because there is no Issue they will not Cave on.

Once they succeeded in forcing Dr. Laura off of television, they have indeed proven to be unstoppable.

Keep your wallets closed. It’s your money that supports these corporate bullies who want a hairy-a**ed deviant to use the bathroom that your 10 year old daughter uses. Bank of America is no longer our bank as of today, and no longer will we use Pay Pal in our business. We do not have to finance those who attack us and our religion.

Where are the churches on this issue? Their silence is consent.

“Gov. Pat McCrory on Tuesday issued an executive order that changes two provisions in the controversial LGBT-protections law...”

1. By what authority does any governor change a law through executive order?

2. What did he change? I read the article and didn’t see that he actually changed anything in the law.

It wasn’t Daniels, it was Pence if it was last year.

There is no confusion here.
Men use men bathrooms and women use women bathrooms.

Where is the confusion, unless one is a mental midget.

I suspected all along that McCrory could not take the heat and would back down. Pence and Hutchinson in IN and AR knew they couldn’t take the heat and retreated quickly too.

3% may be those who are lgbtqipb, but at least 10 times that many empathize with and support them.
