Noah on Bathroom Bill: We’ve Been Here Before with Gays and Black People

‘If you replace transgender with any other group in society, you realize we have been here before, we’ve had this conversation about minorities before’

NOAH: "I love it when people say, this is not natural, it's not natural, it's all absurd! If you think about it, this whole conversation, if you replace transgender with any other group in society, you realize we have been here before, we've had this conversation about minorities before. You know, people said that about gay people five or ten years ago. The conversation is you gonna have gay guys in the same bathroom as a man? Is he going to be looking at my junk? Grab it if he gets a chance? Jerk on it? Is he going to tickle my balls? What is he going to do that corkscrew thing? You've thought about this a lot, my friend. I'm just saying, I want to know what's going to happen! Am I going to like it, is that what's going to happen? Huh? Are we going to get married? Who's the husband? Are we going to adopt? Why are we adopting an Asian kid? It's ludicrous. You're coming up with hypotheticals. Everyone says this is absurd! Now we look at gay people as it is the most normal thing. Because it is normal. Society evolves all the time. Like, I see gay people kissing now and it's not even a thing. I see gay people kissing and I'll be like, hearings stop that! I'm trying to watch 'Brokeback Mountain!' I can't see! Get out of the way! Society has done this over and over again. It's so painful. The same thing was said about black people. It's absurd! We can't share the bathroom with black people. White and black people in the same bathroom! Absurd! What it's going to be? a (bleep) measuring contest? What's going to happen when black people come into -- that seems absurd now. We move forward as society and those notions are absurd. We can't think why anyone would want to have a multiracial bathroom. No reason to have it. What do they think, black people (bleep) differently? Do they think black people are coming in NBA style dunking their turds? No, I gotta lay it up! I don't like that! I don't like that! We've had this conversation, come to the same conclusion, we can progress. It is about discomfort. That's what progress is about, it makes you uncomfortable. In this whole situation, you know who I really blame? I blame the penis. Yeah, I blame the penis. That's what this is really about. No one wants to see a penis."
