Republican Jenner Condemns North Carolina anti-LGBT Bill

Jenner stirred up a tempest a few weeks ago, talking nonsense about becoming her candidate Ted Cruz's ambassador to the trans community. We wonder if Jenner has had anothing to say about North Carolina's new, controversial LGBT bill.

House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, puts in place a statewide policy banning individuals from using public bathrooms that do not correspond to their biological sex. The bill also reserves the right to pass nondiscrimination legislation to the state government, saying state laws preempt any local ordinances. It was an anti-discrimination bill passed in Charlotte that triggered the North Carolina state action .

    Pat McCrory, a Republican, signed the bill Wednesday night and tweeted, "Ordinance defied common sense, allowing men to use women's bathroom/locker room for instance. That's why I signed bipartisan bill to stop it."

    In fact, the Olympian Jenner did tweet:

    Another day, another time for us to stand together!! Tell @PatMcCroryNC to stop this bill with the link below #NCGA https://t.co/tlIvnHvQvC

    North Carolina Law, Followed By Mississippi, Has Big Backlash

    Bruce Springstein cancelled his scheduled concert in North Carolina tonight, explaining: :"Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry -- which is happening as I write -- is one of them.

    Lionsgate cancelled its production on a pilot for the original Hulu comedy 'Crushed', moving it to Canada from North Carolina. In a real blow to the state, online-payment company PayPal announced cancellation of a $3.6 million new facility in the state.

    PayPal president Dan Schulman said "becoming an employer in NOrth Carolina, where members of our teams will not have equal rights under the law, is simply untenable. PayPal is actively looking for another location and will reconsider its decision if the law is repealed. PayPal was one of 120 other business leaders who signed a letter to Mr. McCory objecting to the law. The New York Times writes:

    Some, like Google Ventures’ chief executive, Bill Maris, pledged not to make any new investments in the state until the law was repealed. Other signatories included Apple, Facebook and Charlotte-based Bank of America, the largest corporation in North Carolina. Mayors and governors of other states, including New York, Vermont and Washington, have banned most state-sponsored travel there.

    Growing Up Transgender in a Religious Family

    Caitlyn Jenner and Chandi Moore wrote a post for LGBT community blog WhoSay, that is featured on People Magazine.

    Growing up, my family and I were in church every time the doors opened. We used to say we went to church "from Sunday to Sunday." Even though I didn't realize I was transgender as a kid, I still knew I was different. When I was sitting in church, I used to feel like the sermon was all about me – directed at my "sins" specifically. I heard that my lifestyle was not becoming of God, and it was very hard.
    After a while, I began to believe that God didn't love me and that I was a bad person. I fell out of touch with Him and made some choices that landed me in a place I never expected to be...prison. As I told Cait, I had written some bad checks and done some credit card fraud.
