OMalley urges North Carolina to move forward with HB2 repeal.

'In a possible signal he’s eyeing a second chance at running for president in 2020, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley on Wednesday urged the North Carolina legislature to move forward with “full repeal” of the anti-LGBT House Bill 2.

O’Malley waded in on the issue via Twitter as lawmakers were considering a proposal to repeal HB2, but leave in place a moratorium barring municipalities in North Carolina from enacting pro-LGBT non-discrimination ordinances.

Approved by the state legislature and signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory in March after a single day of consideration, House Bill 2 bars cities from enacting non-discrimination, reversing one recently enacted in Charlotte, and prohibits transgender people from using the restroom consistent with their gender identity.'>>>

Thousands of Penis Police will be required to patrol restrooms. Lots of administrators to submit all the paperwork. I'm not sure if we can find enough qualified US citizens for the job as Pecker Checker, so we might need those special visa programs.
