Who Voted The North Carolina House Bill Two Into Law?

     I should have named this article,"Is There A Gay Person or Transgender in North Carolina That Votes?"

     Do you know who your representative is in the North Carolina General Assembly?  If not, let me tell you how to find out.  Go to www.ncga.state.nc.us  .

     That is the website for the North Carolina General Assembly.  You know where you live.  Look up your representative.  If something concerns you, contact your representative and let him know how you feel.  If you don't tell him that you think your gay son should have the same protection against discrimination that a Muslim has, he won't know.

     Send your representative a letter. Send your representative a letter.  Tell him that you feel that sexual orientation should be a protected class in North Carolina.  OR tell him that you don't think gay people need anti discrimination laws because, as our governor pointed out in his obfuscation article, local companies always have the option to pass their own rules to prevent discrimination.  Here is a link to that article http://myfox8.com/2016/03/29/myths-vs-facts-about-house-bill-2-released-by-nc-gov-pat-mccrorys-office/      

     Do you expect your representative to read your mind?  He can not.  Write him a letter.  I have written mine about house bill 2.  He knows how I feel.  It requires very little effort.

     On March 23, 2016 at 3:05 P.M.  Representatives Adams, Arp, Avila, Bishop, Blackwell, Blust, Boles, Bradford, Brawley, Brady, Bryon, Bumgardner, Burr, Catlin (no I am not kidding), Clevland, Collins, Conrad, Daughtry, Davis, Dixon, Dobson, Dollar, Elmore, Faircloth, Ford, Fraley, Hager, Hardister, Hastings, Horn, Howard, Hurley, Iler, J.

Turner, Schaffer, Setzer, Shepard, Speciale, Stam, Steinburg, Stevens, Szoka, T. Moore, Torbett, Warren, Watford, West, Yarborough, Zachory, and Hendersonville's represenative, Whitemire voted YES to house bill 2.

     If you are gay or transgender, and discrimination is an aggravation or concern for you, VOTE.

     If you don't educate yourself , at least mildly,and you don't VOTE with your ballot and your checkbook, don't complain when your protections under the law disappear.I personally agree with our attorney general, Roy Cooper, that HB2 is a national embarrassment for the state of North Carolina.      http://myfox8.com/2016/03/29/attorney-general-roy-cooper-speaks-out-on-hb2/ 

     If you are LGBT or love someone that is LGBT, write your North Carolina representative.  Let them know that you intend to vote in November.
