People only oppose the influence of Wall Street when the influence is self serving and does nothing but promote the interests of Wall Street. I think it is wonderful when a company does something the promotes freedom and opposes discrimination. This is the complete opposite of a company using its influence to promote its own profit at the expense of taxpayers or the environment.

I have seen plenty of well-dressed and trimmed men who are a little too proud of being naked around other people.

Not just in the locker room. Wear these type of shorts then hang around the bench press offering to spot everyone

I'm sure there are companies out there that would agree and the state can court them. I don't agree with the bill in question, but I think a government caving to business interests like that is bull shit. If it is to be repealed it should be because of legal reasons, not because it hurts their checkbook.

Views from a conservative news source:
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/paypal-apple-coca-cola-reject-nc-bathroom-law-do-business-where-gay Quote:Although many large businesses, including PayPal, Apple, Microsoft, and Coca-Cola, have criticized North Carolina’s new locker room and bathroom law as “discriminatory” to LGBT people, those same four corporations do business in Middle Eastern countries where homosexual conduct and cross-dressing are illegal. Also by cancelling his concert didn't Bruce Springsteen deny his services to a population because of their religious beliefs?

The others, well, hard to say there. I have a feeling that for all of them it comes down to the fact that whether they add jobs in NC or VA, there isn't as much of an operational difference whereas not being in an entire country can be a huge hit to their bottom line. Pick your battles, as some like to say. As for Springsteen, no. He is denying his services because of legislation. The legislation doesn't specify any religion, does it?

If a Baker denies service to a gay wedding can he say he is simply denying it because of the legislation making it legal?

Personally I think Saudi and Kuwait's laws are much more severe, but we all have our opinions. I just think being killed for your sexual orientation is a little more drastic that not being able to use whichever bathroom you feel like.

This logic is a total fail. Springsteen is not opposed to religious beliefs. He is opposed to discrimination based on religious beliefs. He does not care what your religious beliefs are. All he cares about is discrimination. He will gladly perform and take the money of any religion, but he will not accept discrimination based on those beliefs.

Only if he agrees not to do any business at all in the state. The state can not do anything about people who choose not to do business in their states. But if you are going to do business in the state you have to follow the rules. |
