Bathroom bills are just a show of fear

It is natural to fear things we do not understand. But how we react to those fears is critical. The North Carolina legislators who passed the recent anti-LGBT law, which prevents cities and counties from passing anti-discrimination laws and from allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of the sex they identify as, reacted in a defensive, damaging manner.

Transgender people are your friends, neighbors and co-workers. All they want to do is live their lives in peace and harmony. Because of fear they can no longer do so in North Carolina.
