Re: NC transgender law part of civil rights struggle, May 10 news story.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch s remarks about respect and dignity that we should show to our fellow LGBT citizens should also apply to showing respect to the majority of fellow citizens who expect the privacy of a restroom according to their birth sex. Also, trying to compare this dispute over restroom use with the discrimination leading to the Civil Rights Act is way over the top.
What is this country coming to? It is certainly not what those of us who put our lives on the line to maintain freedom expected. I know we will never all think the same way, but there must be respect for certain established traditions.
