PayPal Pulls Plans in North Carolina Over Transgender Law
Fortune ^ | 04/05/2016 | Leena Rao

Posted on 04/05/2016 8:23:02 AM PDT by GIdget2004

PayPal is withdrawing plans to open an operations center in Charlotte, N.C., in reaction to the state overturning a local law that would have let transgender people use public bathrooms that match their gender identities.

Last week, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed House Bill 2, which prevents cities from protecting gay and bisexual people from discrimination, and specifically restricts transgender individuals' rights to use restrooms and other facilities that don’t match their "biological sex."

As PayPal CEO Dan Schulman wrote in a statement: "The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal's mission and culture. As a result, PayPal will not move forward with our planned expansion into Charlotte."

Raise taxes on PayPal transactions.

Immediately. Double their costs. Let other states do the same. It's about time we bitchslapped these @$$holes who want to impose their perverted morality on the rest of us.

It should be noted that PayPal does business in many Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Malaysa, etc. which suppress and outright persecute their LGBT-whatever populations. Denial of opposite sex bathroom privileges is the least of their worries.

These corporations should shut their mouths until they convert all their restrooms to gender neutral bathrooms.

Definitely until they convert their executive office bathrooms.

I just called paypal.

1 (402) 935-2050

Tell them you want to open an account and they will connect you with a customer service person. Ask the woman if she want to go to the bathroom with men. LOL

I'm sick of these California freaks trying to spread their craziness to the rest of the country.

PayPal has a right to decide who it chooses to do business with, just as each of us has a right to no longer use PayPal.

I would agree except for one thing. They got into their position of wealth and power because they were assumed to be in compliance with the "Social Contract"; That they were a normal and healthy participant in the society of which they were a part.

Now we find out that we have allowed them to become wealthy under a false premise; That they were like us, and normal. Now we have found out that they are in support of wicked and perverted social agenda, and so whatever consideration they should have received, is now forfeit.

Had they told us up front that they were all in for "Big Anus", we could have chosen then to refuse to do business with them. But they sneak this up on us, and expect us to accept it merely because they are now in a position of power.

No. I say we F*** them over in any manner that we can accomplish it. They had a right to do what they wanted had they been upfront about it from the beginning, but now I no longer respect their rights to exercise the power they acquired by way of hiding what they were.

We need to enrage the Muslim population in these other country's against them.

I have long said we need to pit the Muslim enemies against the sick perverted enemies and hope they both wipe each other out.

If we had contacts with newspaper publishers in these Muslim countries, we could urge them to run stories outlining how PayPal was pushing Homosexuality here in America.

A massive avalanche of Muslim retaliation against Homo supporting companies around the world would be a good start to rebuking these bastards.

Make them either condemn the Homosexuals or the Muslims. Force them into situations where they are not allowed to have it both ways. Make them chose.

Good call. Put them out of business and charge them with discrimination.

So then good riddance. Who needs a company that thinks it should dictate to the entire state the nonsensical gaystapo agenda. Stay in fruityland California.

Savage:

Agree wholeheartedly with your long post. Your fingers are expressing the frustration of many who see the Enemy within our gates. The plan of the Enemy has not changed since Eden: If you eat this you can also be like God - be your own God.

Our imperfect but steadfast Founders recognized the hand of the Almighty in shaking the chains of tyranny - but they were willing to pay the high price. I fear for my children that we are also going to pay the high price - whether it be to shake the chains or to have them tightened. The price is high because of our collective neglect in allowing abortion, sodomy, sloth and irreverence to become normalized.

eBay spun off PayPal. Now on eBay one can use a credit card.

Thanks for posting the phone number (402-935-2050). My wife called and asked them to cancel our PayPal account. It was more fun explaining the reason and making them cancel it versus just canceling it on-line.

Just like Apple and Hillary. They will take the money from these countries, yet express outrage at the so-called Christian homophobes, in the United States.

“Tell them you want to open an account and they will connect you with a customer service person. Ask the woman if she want to go to the bathroom with men.”

Likely the person on the other end of the line will be a male in an Mumbai call center.
