13. I cannot agree with you at all.....

how can they not be bigots? HB2 is a big ball of hate rolled into one bill. How anyone can support a bill that does what it does to transgenders, people of color, females, and people who are religious is beyond me. A bigot is someone who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. (that is from Webster) When you take into consideration the bathroom part of the bill and then add on the fact that I can now lose my job because of my race, my gender or even my religious affiliation and this bill protects the person who is firing me, THAT is the definition of being a bigot. How can you support this bill if you are against any of those things? I have not heard a single person who supports the bill who then goes on to say except for the parts that are against women or blacks or Christians or even Muslims.
