TRANSLATION:
They want to submit to the the gay LGBT loonies. Too much hassle to not cave in.

Trying to placate the postmodernists will not stop their insatiable desire to see you ruined.

More than 50 people who are anti America and should be fired. Their job is business not social engineering.

What the hell do these businesses care about this? Always trying to use their sway to push social liberal B.S.

Well they let this drag out so here we go, the bill should have went through and signed 6 months ago since stalled it the left had a chance to mobilize so now even Texas is within a hiar of forcing 13 year old girls to have to shower with dudes who claim they are female that day.

Big oil is like any other Big Corp they are prostitutes to the dollar they set down in Houston and want to look tolerate and diverse, most if any of the transsexuals work in the big corporate offices if they want diversity maybe they can find one and promote it to the company president, they are all TALK and can put out a 2 day seminar on the subject that everyone can look at on the computer, required I might say and a big test at the end that documents everything for proof. At the end of the day they are all crude and rude and don’t walk the talk. HR is the biggest joke in the oil field and that is all of them.

No, the governor should announce that every public establishment needs to add Male, Female and Transgender bathrooms and the 50 signatories of the letter have obviously volunteered to pay for them.

Why in the Sam Hill is government at any level asked to decide what use is appropriate for the private property (i.e., bathrooms) of its citizens?

If a private property owner wants to allow certain people to use its property in a certain way, post the rules and be done with it.

What lawful authority is government exercising thst supercedes private property rights?

When the people cede their private property rights, the game is over and the people have lost.

Are there really that many cross-dressers working in the oil industry? And then, if they’re any good at their act, nobody would notice them.

Around 1974 I got a phone call from an office saying they had my wife’s and my check book. She gave me directions.

It turned out to be the very top of a skyscraper in Tulsa. The secretary let me in and the guy who I strongly suspect was the CEO of a major oil company gave me the checkbook.

I thanked him. He then said one of their employees had turned it in. Looking back I should have offered some type of reward even tho the checkbook had little real value as we had totally free checking including free checks etc.

I suspect he just enjoyed doing a good deed.

It’s bad for business to cater to .001% of the population over the vast majority that thinks this is either an intrusion, a threat, or an issue easily solved with single occupant restrooms.

Has anyone noticed that Gulf Oil Co. has reappeared?

Around 1987 I had some dealings with the very last employee of Gulf Oil. He was an attorney closing out all the loose ends before closing down the company.

Think of all the gas stations they own. It would seem like it would be against they’re interests, but they don’t want an army of SJW descending on their offices.

We on the right are much more docile - they can kick our values up and down the street 24/7 and they know we’ll just passively take it.

Now if we were to do what the left does to them, they would change their tune in a hurry.

The oligarchs own the oil companies. Of course they have told the people working for them they want their social engineering policies to remain.
