In your shop, religious folks have the right to sue. No one is trying to take that right away. Well, you maybe, but there is no state law that would remove that right from a person based on faith. If there were, dude! That would be awful!

You do realize a person has to get the states permission to sue for discrimination? You have to make your case before you are allowed to make your case.

If the state were to create a law that discriminated against a person's religion, everyone here fighting for LGBT rights would be fighting just as hard for theirs.

I'm not worried. I am protected by HB2.

Sorry, I forgot to add my comment.
It is human anatomy that determines skin color.

Republicans call it "state's rights" when in the very law itself they remove the state from liability. They can't have it both ways.These idiots wrote it into the legislation that the Fed would be the ones interpreting the ill advised statute. Proof they did not give it much thought, and if they want to claim federal over reach now they can be the labeled the idiots that they are by their very own statute.

Not everybody who has a penis identifies as a male.

HB2 supporters don't have the rationalization skills to realize the law makes it easier for perverts not HARDER.
This is not rocket science.
I just think this is very odd. Don't talk to me about rocket science or rationalization skills until you actually understand anatomy.

LBTG people have been on earth since the beginning of humankind and will remain so.
Although they are finally gaining acknowledgment and rights, the playing field is still not level.
There's a segment of the population that thinks that LBTG folks make a choice to live a certain "lifestyle."
Until that bit of folklore is faded through education, there will still be a struggle.

I think I am going to do a start up and form a company that only hires atheists. Maybe a few christians to sweep the floor and clean the toilets.

Let's say Lowes decides they no longer want to employee Christians and only atheist, that's a characteristic and I bet you'd be concerned then.

Other "characteristics" that might get one fired are being divorced, or republican, or democrat, or evangelical.
It's surprising that discrimination isn't more of a concern to all citizens.

Hepsibah (view profile) | Posted 3:06 pm, 05/05/2016 | Many of us could somehow find ourselves in a job where our supervisor disliked certain "characteristics." How would you like to be great in performing your job, but still be fired because you are a woman, or Asian, or gay, or black, or a man, or Jewish, or older, or Christian, or white, or agnostic?
HB2 took away the right to have discrimination cases heard in NC courts. The only other option is taking the cases to federal court.
That presents quite a roadblock, doesn't it? The politicians who created HB2 sought to make it discouraging to go the legal route. |
There is another option. It is called the AK47 option. It is the option that comes into play when the law supports oppression.

So mommo is saying being a woman is a characteristic that should get you fired.

The thing you don't understand is, if we worked together, I would be your boss. That means I would use HB2 to put you in your place, at home making sandwiches.
