THEROSTOWREPORT 

“RELIGIOUS 

FREEDOM” BILLS 

Since last we spoke, a 

“religious freedom” bill 

has reached the Georgia 

governor’s desk, and the 

North Carolina legislature has 

passed a law that both bans 

transgender men and women 

from their normal bathrooms 

and prevents local entities and 

universities from protecting 

GLBT citizens (and others) 

against bias. 

Georgia Governor Nathan 

Deal bravely vetoed his 

state’s bill. But North Carolina 

Governor Pat McCrory (who 

unlike Deal is running for 

reelection) signed the Tobacco 

State measure into law, triggering 

a national backlash that 

we hope and pray gains steam 

over coming weeks. 

The North Carolina bill was 

introduced and passed in a 

matter of hours during a special 

session of the legislature while 

McCrory waited in his office, 

pen in hand. Lawmakers 

explained that without the 

measure, a local ordinance set 

to take effect in Charlotte would 

have allowed predatory men to 

use the ladies room at will, jeopardizing 

the safety of women 

and girls. The new law solves 

this dire threat by clarifying that 

use of public facilities should 

be based on an individual’s 

birth certificate gender. For the 

record, it’s not easy to change 

your birth certificate in North 

Carolina and you need to have 

surgery to do so. 

Corporations and sports 

institutions like the NCAA, the 

NBA and the NFL, have come 

out in opposition to this law, and 

several cities and at least three 

states have banned official 

travel to North Carolina. Lambda 

and the American Civil Liberties 

Union have filed a federal suit 

against the state, and North 

Carolina Attorney General Roy 

Cooper, who is running against 

McCrory this year, opposes 

the new statute and refuses to 

defend it in court. 

TRANS-MAN- 

SPLAINING 

Several macho-looking 

transmen have posted 

selfies, asking North 

Carolina politicians and citizens 

if they really want to force 

transmen like themselves to 

join the ladies in the toilettes. 

I’ve always thought this was 

the best way to fight these 

bathroom laws. You don’t 

want men in the little girls’ 

room? Well, just look at these 

guys! What are you thinking? 

However, the trans community 

itself is split on the 

tactic, pointing out that the 

strategy undermines those in 

the transgendered community
