They expect LGBT people to “just live with it,” i.e., the refusal to sell them cakes or cater their wedding receptions, “instead of enacting these laws” that prohibit such discrimination.

If this were the case, then why are they complaining now? They feel their civil rights (religious freedom) are being violated. So, just live with it instead of trying to enact these laws.

It is a presidential election year so the liberals will be out in force this year so I am confident we will. McCory was elected in one of the off years when we liberals tend to take democracy for granted. When will we learn?

This person insists that were (s)he in their shoes, (s)he would never think of doing that. Because, you know, (s)he is so much more “tolerant” than I am.

I love it when right-wingers congratulate themselves for things they have never done and will never do. Anyone who claims that (s)he would meekly acquiesce to a violation of his/her civil rights, and demands that others do the same, is either a liar or a fool.

What they call “freedom” is not freedom; it’s power. What they call “tolerance” is not tolerance; it’s acquiescence. What they call “force” is not force; it’s accountability.

The law is unconstitutional and a national embarrassment, and will hurt North Carolina’s economy.

However, it remains to be seen whether sane North Carolinians will outvote the culture warriors.
