It targets LGBT folks specifically for discrimination. Read Romer v. Evans for why that will be....problematic.
No it doesn't. Men use men's facilities and women uses women's facilities. It's that simple.
Even the Attorney General of the State of South Carolina doesn't buy your narrative. It was created with the explicit intent of targeting LGBT folks for discrimination.
It isn't being defended in South Carolina. And its unlikely to do well in the Federal Courts either.
I don't give a shit what he said. Making a man use the men's restroom isn't discrimination. It's fucking stupid to say that it is.
You should. He's the one making the decisions on whether not the State defends people under the law.
And his voice is going to be a powerful condemnation in federal court. When the AG of the very state that created the law denounces it as unconstitutional and unenforceable......that doesn't bode well for that law's future.
'National embarrassment' should about cover it.
Nowhere is it written that men have legal protection to use the women's restroom.
And yet there is precedent against laws that specifically target LGBT folks for discrimination. Again, see Romer v. Evans.
And pay special attention to who wrote that ruling. Its the same guy who wrote Lawrence v. Texas, US v. Windsor and Obergefell v. Hodges.
Before Scalia's death he was known as 'Mr. Swing voter'.
