We have people elected in free and fair elections passing a law.
Then big business decides to bully htem because it can.
The big biz are quite happy to do business in Poland, Saudi Arabia and many othre ountries that persecute LBTQ.
But thre big biz feel they can bully this state.
I have copmlete contempt for people who pass laws like this, but would Doctorow et al be happy if it were big oil or big pharma company bullying for a cause they did not support.
No.
Thought not.
Also we need to stop blaming politicians here. It feels good but stands up to no scrutiny.
As I say at the beginning, this state has free and fair elections. Actions like these are not carried out in secret, there has been no cover up. The fact Doctorow is not prepared to accept is that laws like this are really popular amongst voters.
Maybe they shouldn’t be popular, coming from a country like the UK which is ruled by a Conservative party that regularly has female leaders, gay ministers and of course has no problem at all with a female head of state I have contempt for the people of north Carolina, but don’t blame politicians for doing what people want.
