"How nationally despised is the discriminatory new bathroom law in North Carolina? Let us count the ways.

Since March, when the state's Republican governor, Pat McCrory, signed the bill forcing transgender people into the bathroom of the gender they were born with, it has been condemned by corporations, celebrities and moral leaders.

It has cost the state prestige and employment. Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Ringo Starr and others have canceled concerts. Beyonce, Jimmy Buffett and more have played but spoken against the law, which also bars cities from passing ordinances to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people."
