Got to give the governor gent a lot of credit.

Parts of it would, parts of it might could, parts of it are perfectly OK.The bill would almost certainly be a violation of the US constitution in any case. But, of course that would enable more expensive wrangling in court.
Of course the Governor only reversed his parties wishes because of the dollars he would lose from those Hollywood lefties....
Disney, Walking Dead and others threaten to move if HB 757 passes
During the last fiscal year, at least 248 films and television productions were shot in Georgia, adding at least $1.7 billion in direct spending to the state’s economy. Additionally, the entertainment industry helped to bring more than 100 businesses to Georgia through relocation or expansion in the past fiscal year. Only two states — California and New York — have a larger entertainment industry footprint and both have statewide non-discrimination protections on the books. Unfortunately, Georgia not only lacks such protections, but could soon move from a bad situation to worse with H.B. 757.

And not everyone is happy with Nathan .........
“I thought that was very disappointing to see Governor Deal in Georgia side with leftist activists,” Cruz told reporters outside a restaurant here where he met with voters ahead of Wisconsin's April 5 primary.

Got a non-LTHB link for your claim of 10%?Well according to the head shrinky types about 10% of the population falls into one of these categories. That is a fair number of votes.
You got it exactly right. They came out of the woodwork. Meaning for decades or centuries they put up with feeling uncomfortable and out of place, up to and including the point of suicide, because people who are comfortable in their biological sex would discriminate against them, jail them, beat them, and murder them.I guess I'm a little behind. Where did all this LGBT stuff come from? Are there really that many? And just why, does it seem, they're coming out of the woodwork now? Was there something in the air, in the food, in the water that all of a sudden we have scores of LGBT people that are being denied their rights and who want to use washrooms because they either (a) really want to be the opposite gender of what they are or (b). want to piss off the mainstream and demand to use whatever washroom they choose?
There is an element of that. You will always have an extreme fringe. But to judge LGBTQ people by the acting-out fringe is like judging straight people by the slobbering morons screaming that all gays should be shot.Quite frankly, I think something is up. I believe there's extreme social engineering going on and it makes me wonder what the hell is going on. I honestly don't know how, for example, a 6 year old can determine that they want to be a boy/girl when they don't even have the capacity to know what they want at that age. So a girl is playing with trucks (oh, she must want to be a boy or is a boy "inside" (I played with trucks with my brothers too). Oh, a boy is playing with dolls, so he must be a girl "inside". How utterly ridiculous and I guess it's now "fashionable". Really??
Clearly you're not the only one who feels that way. It's a trend at the moment. It was repressed for so long that now that it's out, it's getting a lot of attention. It'll die down over time, and transgenders'll just be another normal variation.It's likely me, but I think a lot of this is crap! Let me be clear - there may be some individuals out there who really genuinely feel trapped in another gender's body, but it seems like an epidemic and it just makes me think that it's just another social experiment.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
JMHO

That was to the "activists," i.e., the shrieking, acting-out fringe.But you made my point exactly when you said "What're you gonna do for attention when we legalize gay marriage?" I'm sorry, but while there may be "some" I don't believe it's as "massive" an issue that it's being made to be. It's just another "cause".
I dunno.....
So, no proof then. Just as I thought, you're pulling numbers out of yer azz just like Analfloss does.Got anything other than a holy roller link proving it isn't?
Parts of it would, parts of it might could, parts of it are perfectly OK.
True at one point, but nowadays most laws have "savings clauses," which basically say "if any part of this law is struck down by the courts, the rest remains in effect."Parts of a bill are rarely allow to stand. Either the whole thing works or it is tossed out.
