North Carolina's anti-discrimination law was written in a particular way; it specifically excludes the LGBT community from any sort of protection. The law was willfully designed to "legally" marginalize certain citizens of the United States. Thus, these people (and they are people) have no recourse at law where discrimination is concerned. And that is a violation of the 14th amendment which states, "...nor shall any State...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." It's a violation of federal standards to deny anyone their day in court.
Whether you agree with someone's sexual orientation and lifestyle choices is immaterial. Many people do not agree with the LGBT way of life (I don't). Neither do they accept the choices cold-blooded killers have made. However, despite the atrocities and heinous crimes inflicted upon the citizens of the world by the likes of Adolf Eichmann, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer and Saddam Hussein, these barbaric examples of the human race got their day in court because a civilized society demands due process. Does the LGBT community deserve less than these four monstrous killers?
To deny men and women their right to due process, their day in court...a right guaranteed by the 14th amendment of our Constitution...because of their sexual orientation, is immoral and illegal. In essence, it's a sin.
North Carolina has set itself up as a self-appointed judge and jury where human lives and lifestyles are the battleground. Thus, if someone dies for any reason because of governmental arrogance, hypocritical self-righteousness and state-sanctioned discrimination concerning sexual orientation, it will have become a self-appointed executioner,too.
So, while at the moment the LGBT cannot file any discrimination law suits at the state level, I'm sure the US Department of Justice will be more than willing to handle the cases that are bound to land in its offices. And with that very real possibility looming on the horizon, the great and proud state of North Carolina might just have bitten off more than it can chew.
