Lawmakers consider boosting funds to defend LGBT rights law

businesses that would have to fork out the billions of dollars to retrofit.
not to mention the places where that can't be done.

It's hard for me to imagine anyplace where that couldn't be done. After all, John Kennedy put a man on the moon. If legislative bodies are genuinely interested in providing accommodations for small, but special needs groups, they will provide ample funding to meet the need. Years ago, Special Education didn't exist, but now you will find a variety of special needs offerings in every school house in this country. As far as private sector businesses are concerned, it would just be good business to provide for ALL of their customers, just like department stores did after Jim Crow. It wouldn't even surprise me if state legislatures earmarked tax dollars for grants to private businesses much in the same way they do for Planned Parenthood.

The Americans With Disabilities Act was a Godsend for people who couldn't go to the bathroom along major interstate highways. Handicapped parking is a blessing to people with wheelchairs. Curbs have been leveled, crosswalks have been retrofitted, even special rooms in public places designed to serve those who require family assistance to transfer from their wheelchairs to the toilets are now at virtually every rest stop on every major highway.

Don't be so negative. If we can put a man on the moon, we can put a transgendered person in a room where they can go to the bathroom in peace, where they will never again feel shame or humiliation or discrimination. That's what we want, isn't it?

Ahh, so it's the fault of people passing laws to protect transgender citizens that laws were passed to harass transgender citizens. Got it.

How did the Charlotte ordinance protect anyone?
