Folks here ARE mad and embarrassed. We're all being painted by the same ignorant brush by politicians in their ivory tower in Raleigh, who listen to dog-whistle phrases like "Bathroom Bill" and then act accordingly.
The Governor and State Senate overreached badly in their response to the original bill, and injected items in the bill that had little to do w/ the transgender topic at all. Like some other segments of society in Carolina, they are being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century by the reaction of the world around them.
I've lived in Charlotte for 6 years now. The people are gracious, kind, salt-of-the-earth kinda folks who just wanna go about their business, but there are some who feel it necessary to tell everyone else how they should act or be. The Charlotte Bill was not a big deal to anyone, but the response was an outrageous overreach. Right now they're just trying to find a way to graciously scale it back with minimal embarrassment. That can't happen soon enough. JMHO
