Equality NC Meeting Push-Back in the Tar Heel State

What's happening in North Carolina since the Republican incumbent Pat McCrory was forced out of office simply for protecting the basic genetic realities of life?

The North Carolina State Legislature is still dominated by Republicans, but many of them have felt the sting of standing up for life and family and they didn't get much support for doing so.

Will they fight to ensure that men and women stay in their proper facilities?

After HB2 repeal 'fail,' LGBTQ group calls out supporters -including Democrats

Some North Carolina lawmakers will enter the elections this year without an endorsement from a prominent rights groups that supported them previously.

Homosexuality and transgenderism are not rights. We need to confront these lies head on. Most Republicans simply refuse to do this!

Every seat in the Republican-controlled NC House and Senate is up for election this year.

That is strange. Normally, elected officials hold state senate seats for a longer period and they rotate in different terms.

Equality N.C., the largest and oldest LGBTQ rights advocacy group in the state, announced Tuesday that it won't support legislators who voted for the bill repealing the controversial bathroom bill known as HB2. The repeal bill lifted laws prohibiting transgender people from using the bathroom of their choice, but it blocked cities and counties from enacting policies that might protect the LGBTQ community from discrimination.

HB 2 was good legislation, big Big Business threatened these states, and the elected officials chickened out and caved in. This is beyond terrible.

Thus, the Equality NC said, those who voted for it failed to represent the group's values. So it won't endorse them.

Notice how hard-core and uncompromising the bullying LGBT lobby is. They don't take "No" for an answer. They don't settle for compromise. They don't take whatever wins they have achieved. They double down and demand that they get away with more.

The fact that the bathroom bill repeal is not enough should be proof positive that it's not enough to talk about privacy. It's time to educate people without compromise that transgenderism is a mental disorder, not a civil right. Period.

“Today, we are making it clear: LGBTQ North Carolinians will not stand for politicians who campaign on our issues, but fail to follow through on their promises to us," Matt Hirschy, Equality NC Interim Executive Director, said in a statement.

Let's hope that their backing away from supporting Democratic politicians will help better Republicans get elected to office

"A decision we did not make lightly — but one that had to be made to uphold the integrity and mission of our organization," he said.

Historically, Equality NC mostly endorses Democrats. But it's unclear who lost support from the group.

The Democratic Party has to keeping go so far left to catch up with all the wily interest groups which have hijacked the party. Who is paying for this unbiblical insanity?

Equality NC didn't identify which candidates it has previously endorsed. But its list of endorsements for the 2018 primaries shows they are opposing some incumbents.

Equality NC endorsed Allison Dahle in her race against Democratic Rep. Duane Hall in House District 11. In District 43, the group endorsed Prince Christian over Democratic Rep. Elmer Floyd. It's also supporting Mujtaba Mohammed in his race against Sen. Joel Ford.

Nearly 40 Democrats in the legislature supported the HB2 repeal bill, including 30 Democrats in the House and nine in the Senate. Minority leaders Darren Jackson in the House and Dan Blue in the Senate are among the Democrats who supported the bill.

Will this Democratic fratricide help the Republicans? Let's hope so.

Leslie Rudd, a spokeswoman for Blue, said all Democratic state senators supported a full repeal. But that wasn't on the table, she said, so they voted for House Bill 142 "knowing that the fight for equal rights is not over in North Carolina."

“We understand and respect Equality NC’s position on this issue; the decision to vote for House Bill 142 was not one that our members made lightly," Rudd wrote in an email.

“Every single Democratic senator that voted for House Bill 142 had previously sponsored legislation to repeal House Bill 2 and/or expand protections for gender identity and sexual orientation at the state level," she said. “It is important for all voters that value equality to consider their legislator’s vote on House Bill 142; as well as their full legislative track record on LGBTQ rights."

Final Reflection

The Big Gay Hate Machine will never be happy until everyone respects, reverse, and bows down to their agenda in full.

Conservatives need to wake up and accept the fact that this anti-reality interest group is not out to play for the middle. They want everything their way, or they will fight and destroy whatever gets in their way to achieve those ends.

We need to stand strong for biological reality and biblical truth at all costs. North Carolinians need to wake up and do what is right for their children, for their country, and for their constitutional rights.

Governor McCrory: Dig in Your Tar Heels!

Governor Pat McCrory of North Carolina — “The Tar Heel State” — worried me.

When the Republican supermajority in Raleigh passed legislation to protect individual civil servants’ freedom of conscience, he vetoed the bill, fearing a lawsuit onslaught. The legislature overrode his veto. Today, judges do not have to officiate same-sex “weddings”, and individual clerks do not have to issue licenses for homosexual “marriages”.

When the legislature took another stance against the Big LGBT Hate Machine, McCrory respected their measure (as did the majority of North Carolinians, moral necessity, including biological reality), and signed into law HB 2.

What does Law #2 do?

The legislation requires that all individuals use public restrooms in accordance with their sex, the biological determinants of their body.

This is a novel, controversial, and hair-raising piece of legislation?

To the regressive, illiberal Left, yes it is. To a weak-kneed world, unwilling to stand up to progressive insanity, yes indeed. This is Cultural Marxism, unchecked for the past seven years under the Occupant in the White House. This destructive, Satanic movement, spawned in pre-World War II Germany, now infects the United States from University to homestead.

The goal of the Frankfurt Cult?

Divide Americans then conquer them through the interminable coercion of the State. Since military might failed to vaunt Communism above everything, a subtle, inside approach took over. If the United States—and the West—could tear down the Berlin Wall, why not create invisible walls among Americans? Divide them up over artificial identities, destroy the major institutions of life and learning. Remove any relevance to the basic biological underpinnings of our lives, and then watch Big Brother burst through, with his boot in your face—forever!

Governor McCrory, whether he wanted to or not, is the latest face in the fight for individual liberty, limited government, and constitutional rule. Whether he wanted to or not, he signed onto the common-sense legislation to respect and maintain the blessed distinctions of male and female, recognized for the good of all in the most privy of places, for the most private of acts.

The onslaught has been intense.

The hypocritical Left, from the social injustice warriors to the empty-headed celebrities, and the immoral federal government have all tried to stomp out this law. “Men may go wherever they feel like going.”

Would McCrory give way? Would he cave like the cowardly Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, who rejected the weakest of religious liberty protection bills earlier this year? Would he falter the way of Arkansas and Indiana governors, too?

He did issue an executive order … clarifying the law, but in no way reducing its impact.

The left-wing Atlantic foamed and fumed:

McCrory’s order seems to be geared at soothing fears about some elements in the law, but it does not appear to make any material changes. The governor cannot unilaterally change the law. There is no change to the transgender-bathroom conditions, one of the most complicated elements. Government buildings, including schools, will still require people to use bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding to the gender on their birth certificate. But the order also notes that private businesses may establish their own restroom and locker-room policies.

Male is male, female is female, and in North Carolina, city ordinances (like those of uber-Democratic Charlotte) cannot override these basic rules of nature. McCrory could not “unilaterally change the law.” Would that President Obama deferred in turn to the national Charter and our Congress. McCrory offered a neutral explanation, respecting private businesses to implement policies as they see fit. Target has tried that insipid approach, to the hurt of its bottom line and impoverishing stock-holders.

No, McCrory is not caving, in part because the state legislature, defined by rock-steady conservatives, will not let him. The stories from wounded women, victimized by sexual assault, has overridden the flighty, moral insanity of the statist hordes demanding an ideal word free of distinctions.

Standing by HB 2, North Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest declared his bold, adamant stance to protect women and children (and even men!):

If our action in keeping men out of women’s bathrooms and showers protected the life of just one child or one woman from being molested or assaulted, then it was worth it. North Carolina will never put a price tag on the value of our children.

Public safety overrides effete sentimentality. Priceless!

The Governor is also demonstrating solid leadership. In spite of petty boycotts from large corporations (still conducting business in countries where homosexuals are routinely flogged and/or executed), McCrory is digging in his tar heels.

The latest demonstration of courage? His bold, principled, and righteous defiance to the federal government’s Department of (In)Justice:

The Los Angeles Times reports:

The Justice Department notified Gov. Pat McCrory in a letter Wednesday that the state’s House Bill 2, which restricts transgender bathroom access and has become a focus in the LGBT rights fight, violates sections of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

This is insulting as well as insipid. This law was designed to protect individuals of different colored skin or from discrimination. It is very offensive for the feds to compare the disorder of transgenderism with an ethnic status, for which one has no determination over—and should not be ashamed.

The North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore blew off Obama’s empty threats:

We will take no action by Monday,” Moore told reporters in a video broadcast by the Raleigh News & Observer. “That deadline will come and go. Obviously, we don’t ever want to lose any money, but we’re not going to get bullied by the Obama administration …

The Governor staked out a simple stance on this fight:

“The right and expectation of privacy in one of the most private areas of our personal lives is now in jeopardy.”

Let Governor McCrory know he is doing the right thing:

“Keep digging in your tar heels for biology, reality, and individual security!”
