North Carolina - LGBTQ rights fight reignited 4 years after N.C.'s 'bathroom bill' controversy

Mr. Dundon - if the North Carolina Legislature decides to punt (once again) on the "issue" of where transgender people should be allowed to pee, Hartford would welcome NHL hockey back with open arms. Go, "Brass Bonanza"!

ezs note:  Colorado's 2nd State Senate district - granted, it's a long way off, but if you have a strong LGBTQ credential, have a good rapport with people (whether they agree or disagree with you), and, preferably, have a spot on a city or town council, perhaps it'll be time to take away Kevin Grantham's seat in the Senate.  In case you didn't know, he went to, ahem, 'school' at Liberty University, of airhead Jerry Falwell's starting.

Yeah, that's who you've got representing you in the 2nd District.  You can do better.

ezs note:  I'm not really a hawkish type, but if you have goods to buy, you might want to consider Target.  They're really a very progressive company, with reasonable prices.  Plus, you'll have a chance to piss off the American 'Family' Association!
