- I see this bill as a very necessary and important temporary solution to a problem imposed by special interest groups.
- I think that this bill is very imperfect and should be revised.
- I think it was imposed because the City of Charlotte was going to impose something worse which was misconstrued as being beneficial.
- The topics covered in the 'bathroom bill' are not very important to me individually, but I am interested in respecting the privacy of every family in our state who has lived their entire lives with segregated public restrooms. I am also interested in respecting the privacy of individuals who have a more complicated version of 'male or female' but I recognize that there are both too many variations and too little accommodations. The solution is total privacy.
- I think that the lack of this bill in light of the Charlotte ordinance would have given felons a leg to stand on in certain court cases. The Charlotte bill would have also imposed rules on public and private businesses, like big brother. HB2 prevents that from happening, but is being ridiculed as if it were big brother.
- I do not think either HB2 or the 'old way' were perfect. The only way to achieve true comfort in a public restroom/locker area is to provide complete and total privacy to individuals.
- I am very upset that there are special interest groups, media icons, and large corporations seeking PR who will make a stand against my home state because our elected governor pushed a bill to protect currently existing privacy for the people en-masse.
- If these businesses truly cared for the cause, they would provide totally private restrooms instead of segregated facilities, and there would be no reason to boycott North Carolina.
- I think the way people are reacting to this bill is inappropriate. They should stop blaming the governor and instead provide actual private restrooms to people. After all, isn't their complaint reliant on the fact that certain people feel uncomfortable with certain other people in the vicinity of their intimate areas?
- There are too many dynamics to address with simple paper, and the only solution is absolute privacy.
- I respect Gov. McCrory because he suffered large political tensions to provide privacy for millions of North Carolinians, and the rights of a company to do as they choose with their facilities while also unifying the state's public infrastructure with simple rules.
Maybe I'll stop ranting now.
