COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina senator wants to bar local governments from requiring businesses to let transgender people use the bathroom of their choice, saying he's taking a "stand for decency and common sense."
The bill introduced Wednesday by Sen. Lee Bright would also require multistall bathrooms on public property to be designated and used "based on biological sex." It specifically includes student bathrooms, locker rooms and shower rooms in public schools.
How private businesses handle their bathrooms should be up to the owners, not government, he said.
He knows of no city in South Carolina where that's an issue, but he supports a North Carolina law that prohibits local communities from enacting anti-discrimination ordinances and requires transgender people to use public bathrooms that match their sex at birth.

Another state PayPal, Angie’s List and Salesforce will have to pull out of. Their market area is getting smaller and smaller. Wouldn’t it be nice if someday their only market was the perverted 1%ers?
I called to cancel my PayPal account yesterday and told them why. The young woman was very diplomatic explaining she understood my position and thanked me for my past business. Either she was just a very nice young woman or they have been getting a lot of these calls and they have instructed their employees how to handle them. When Angie’s List got nailed here last year after the RFRA blow up, their people were ‘oh no not another cancellation’ and were very conciliatory. They lost a ton of members in the Indianapolis metro area and had to change to a pay as you go system to stay afloat.
If our ancestors could return, they would not recognize this country.
Ma and Pa were WW II vets,Dad at Pearl.
I tell my Bro glad they are gone as their heads would explode,especially Dad.
He thought the Beatles were over the top when we 1st saw them on Ed Sullivan.
He couldn’t handle what the 3%’ers are trying to shove down out throats or up our butts.Pick and analogy,no pun intended.
None of these laws are enforceable, unless they are willing to have a police officer at the entrance to all bathrooms checking ID cards, and directing the holder to the room designated for his/her sex.

Your “laws are not enforceable” argument is fallacious.
There are laws against breaking and entering, for instance, yet we don’t expect a policeman to be present at every structure.
The “perfect enforcement” argument you present is the same one used by every single leftist who wants to eliminate punishment for their chosen crime.
Laws were never really meant to be preventative measures, as anyone who has suffered from an arson or a B&E can tell you. Only low-level unthinking leftists think you can prevent crime by making more laws.
The laws are on the books for punitive purposes. You do X, X is bad, you get Y punishment.
Now we’ve gotten to the point where .03% of the population wants to do X and not have it called “bad”, and must convince 3% to 5% of the population (i.e., the elitists in charge) that indeed, X is not bad, X is good, X is great, X is WONDERFUL, X is COURAGEOUS, and if you think X is bad you’re a BIGOT X-HATER WHO SHOULD BE PUNISHED!
Maybe the answer is three restrooms. Men, women, and question mark.
She needs to take that off and put it in a museum. Bigot.
Every time you see trans, the sex is always really opposite of reality.
Great idea!
Yes I take that preposterous get-up as a macro-micro-aggression against my own cool white Danish ancestry.
Assimilated Americans wear clothes not tablecloths.
hell,i don’t reconize it.
If it were 1776, they might change their minds about signing the Constitution.
I just got a “breaking news” alert, saying Bruce Springstein has cancelled a concert in NC because of their “homophobic” law. We need the same kind of thing here in SC.
A while back, I saw an explanation from a FReeper, which cleared the whole thing up. Replace the word “trans” with the word “fake,” and it makes sense. “Trans woman” means “fake woman,” which of course is really a man. Sorry I can’t remember which FReeper to credit.
If our ancestors could return, we could take our country back.
Is that enforceable?
You could ask Brendan Eich.
Yes of course. But then, they have enforcers posted everywhere.
