NAACP threatens North Carolina with boycott over law requiring men to use men’s bathrooms

-

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is planning a boycott of North Carolina over its law (HB-2) requiring people to use the bathroom matching their biological sex.
The NAACP says the law amounts to "gender discrimination." They are urging major sports teams and organizations, religious bodies and conferences, and music stars to refuse to schedule any activities in the state.
NAACP national president Cornell Brooks said at a press conference that "children … are being imperiled" by gender separate bathrooms. North Carolina chapter president William Barber called the state "a battleground ... for the soul of America."
The group equates homosexual and transgender affirmation with civil rights.
"The pro-abortion NAACP decries bathroom 'discrimination' but has no problem with the real and violent discrimination that results in more black babies being aborted than born alive," 
"Bathrooms are, by nature, gender discriminatory," Bomberger explained. "If gender is fluid, why isn't 'race'?  Why isn't age?"
The NAACP governing board unanimously approved their boycott of North Carolina in protest of the state law ("HB-2"). They are creating a "task force" to oversee the boycott.  
Barber said the boycott will not end until HB-2 is repealed, electoral districts are redrawn, and the newly elected Democratic Governor Roy Cooper is reinvested with powers rescinded by the Republican-led legislature.
The board's resolution threatens additional steps, including encouraging divestiture of North Carolina-related investments and boycotting all travel to the state.
Barber also threatened to boycott any state that passes laws similar to North Carolina's gender-separate bathroom statute.
The NAACP boycott was announced two days after President Trump nixed President Obama's executive order forcing transgender bathrooms on public schools.
"If the NAACP wants to promote the belief that self-chosen identification is all that matters, then what's to stop the race-switching, scholarship-stealing Rachel Dolezals of the world?" Bomberger rhetorically asked.
Bomberger was referring to the African studies instructor and a local president of an NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, who nine times reported to police that she was the black victim of hate crimes. But in 2015 her Caucasian parents revealed that she is white.
Since being exposed as lying on her biography, Dolezal admitted that she was born white but identifies as black. Her defenders contend her racial identity is "genuine," even though it is not based on genetics, biology, or actual ancestry.  
Last month, Dolezal’s mother told KREM news: “Rachel has wanted to be somebody she's not.” Dolezal is genetically German, Czech and Swedish, with a "smattering" of Native American ancestry.
Dolezal also was dismissed from the Spokane police ombudsman commission over "a pattern of misconduct" and was forced to resign as education director for Idaho's Human Rights Education Institute over accusations of "discrimination." She told Vanity Fair in 2015 that she was making a living braiding and weaving hair three times a week.
In 2000, the NAACP boycotted South Carolina over flying the Confederate flag, which was eventually removed in 2015.

The NAACP also sued over a North Carolina voting law requiring a photo ID. The lawsuit was upheld by a federal appeals court. That appeal is before the U.S. Supreme Court.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
