To the Editor,

OK. I’ve listened to all the spin on HB2, all of it demonizing our Governor, Lt. Governor and our General Assembly. Ben Carson remarked that “political correctness is muzzling us,” effectually denying us freedom of speech. So here it goes. What is it about these few sexually challenged people that drives an agenda, supported by many, that flies in the face of our Creator and the laws of nature He established? Shouldn’t people be grateful to our state government for protecting our little girls from exposure to adult male genitalia? I, for one, am thankful to our state for considering the children, and I am proud to stand with them. All those self-righteously reprimanding North Carolina ought to be ashamed of themselves. They should be considering the right of the young child.
