Kathleen Parker: N.C. Bathroom Bill Is a ‘Bogus Issue’; Voters Being Fed ‘False Narrative’

‘’So in other words, you, Kathleen Parker, think that perverts, men, ought to be able to come into bathrooms and assault ten-year-old girls,’ right?’

PARKER: "Well, besides the fact that Governor’s from Ohio, he’s certainly mastered the southern arts of sweet talk and finesse. You know, the fact of the matter, as you pointed out, there is still in place this prohibition that local municipalities can have their own anti — sorry — discrimination laws. Now he’s backing off of that now, and I think calling it more or less it was hasty, poor writing, crafting of the bill. And so that’s good. I give him credit for that. But still, you’re allowing, the state is allowing private businesses, for example, to say, “I’m sorry, but we don’t serve gays here.” Or, “We don’t let gay people spend the night in our hotels.” You know, there’s no recourse for those people, because unless these municipalities can pass their own anti-discrimination laws, then, you know, they’re out of luck. But on the bathroom bill, this to me seems to be such a bogus issue all together. I don’t know what they’re afraid of, you know? It’s not as though you’re going to have— on the one hand, I’ll hear from readers in North Carolina say, “So in other words, you, Kathleen Parker, think that perverts, men, ought to be able to come into bathrooms and assault ten-year-old girls,” right? So they’re being fed some kind of crazy false narrative about what this is."
