Fec;

From Susan Ladd at the N&R:

Disgusted with Gov. Pat McCrory and our elected officials who supported House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act. Locally, that includes state Sens.Trudy Wade and Phil Berger and Reps.John Blust, Jon Hardister and John Faircloth.

It took seven days for the N&R to print the names of our legislators who voted for HB2.

Jeff Gauger is a coward

For those too young to remember, the Nazis sent gay people as well as Jews to concentration camps. Jews were required to wear the Star of David, and gay people had to wear pink stars.

Finally, an appropriate allusion to Nazi fascism.

Meanwhile:

“We didn’t see this coming,” Republican House member John Hardister told Triad City Beat.

Brian Cleary is a coward

Those who contributed to the campaigns of these individuals who have not come out against this bigotry are just as guilty.
