The fever swamps of the left have found a new Civil Right, and appointed Bruce Springsteen to make it the defining issue of the 2016 presidential race.
Bruce Springsteen is canceling his North Carolina concert in response to the state's new LGBT law.
That measure prohibits transgender individuals from using the restroom of their gender identity.
Springsteen, along with others on the far left, have derided the move as an attack on the LGBT community.
Men in the ladies room, or no concert for you! Because, #BathroomEquality!
Or, as Ed Driscoll put it, Semi-retired former rock star turned tool of the one percent ruling elite screws working class fans to send PC virtue signal to his political masters.
I hope Hillary Clinton and the democrats add this nonsense to their party platform front and center, because then Ted Cruz will win all 57 states.
Maybe she'll even tap Annise Parker, Houston's loony lesbian coed-bathroom-loving mayor as her Veep.
Reasonable people might say, why not just create single-occupancy restrooms for the folks who can't figure out if they're a boy or a girl? Hah! That's "discriminatory," worse even than the Jim Crow South's notion of "separate but equal," and totally unacceptable to the Obama administration.
The Obama administration is suing yet another school district for refusing to allow a biological teenage male to use the girls' locker room, restroom, and shower facilities.
Yesterday, the federal government found a the school in violation of a new interpretation of Title IX, a 1972 law designed to prevent sex discrimination.
A male student who identifies as female sued Township High School District 211 in 2014 for access to the female locker room.
The district said the student could use a separate, private room instead.
This wasn't good enough for the ACLU, however, which represented the male student in a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education (DoE)'s Office for Civil Rights.
John Knight, the LGBT and HIV Project Director of the ACLU of Illinois, called the decision "blatant discrimination."
"We're talking about somebody who is being denied fair and equal treatment as compared to the other students, only because she [sic] is transgender," he said.
Please tell me his name isn't Lola…
Obama's EEOC is likewise "ready" to jump into action the first time a North Carolina man is denied access to a womens bathroom.
The federal agency that enforces anti-discrimination laws in workplaces told BuzzFeed News it "stands ready" to investigate complaints from transgender employees in North Carolina — where a new law bans transgender people from government building restrooms that match their gender identity.
That sort of restriction in workplaces is prohibited by federal law, said Chai Feldblum, one of five members of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The agency held last year that banning a transgender employee from restrooms matching their gender in workplaces with 15 or more workers violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Feldblum and another EEOC official told BuzzFeed News that federal law supersedes local and state laws.
Congress never listed "transgender" as a protected class in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but hey, when has what a law actually says affected what Obama's progressive pinheads feel like they can do? Find a sympathetic judge to legislate from the bench and presto!, a new "right" is born.
The LGBT fascists are fired up. "Bathroom Equality" is their new rallying cry. PayPal publicly signalled their progressive bona fides by being the first major corporation to boycott North Carolina. Nevermind that they're simultaneously expanding into Cuba, where homosexuality is illegal and "LGBT rights" are non-existent.
(And I'm sure Bruce Springsteen would rather forget that he once played concerts in LGBT-unfriendly Zimbabwe and Ivory Coast, during his ironicly-named "Human Rights Tour.")
That was then. This is now. And now is the time for coed bathrooms.
Fortunately, the voters in Houston overwhelmingly defeated Mayor Parker's bathroom bill last November. Because they're, you know, sane.
And this year citizens all across these United States will likewise see that a
vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for coed bathrooms. That's why I want this
issue to remain in the spotlight, because it'll guarantee that sanity will
prevail and Ted Cruz will be our next president.
