There have been numerous recent stories taking on this new topic. This ad comes at the heels of new anti-transgender bathroom bills that are popping up all over the country. For example the North Carolina Bill:
North Carolina’s General Assembly voted on Wednesday to block cities and counties from passing protections against LGBT discrimination in a wide-ranging bill that could have enormous implications for the state.
This bill that passed a special session would set a statewide anti-discrimination policy, banning employers and businesses from discriminating against employees or customers based on their race, color, country of origin, religion, age or “biological sex.” The problem is that the bill offers no protections for the LGBTQ community and prevents local governments from passing any nondiscrimination policy that goes beyond the statewide standard. Meaning it, paradoxically, can promote or make legal discrimination against the LGBTQ community. This would leave areas governing wages, benefits, employee protections, and leave specifics unsafe for possible discrimination for the LGBTQ population. This would also prevent people with gender identity disorder from using the bathroom of the sex that they identify with. Many people feel that this is the same as what used to be discrimination against minorites just a few decades ago.
