6:08Now PlayingAn organization known as Freedom For All Americans has released an ad against the discriminatory bathroom law in North Carolina targeting the transgender community. The ad explains the absurdity of the new HB2 law in a logical and effective way. Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger), and Kim Horcher (Nerd Alert), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"In the one-minute ad, Zeke Christopoulos, a transgender man, sits and talks with two coworkers about his gender and about North Carolina’s HB2 law — which repeals all of the state’s local LGBT nondiscrimination ordinances and bans transgender people from the restrooms that match their gender identity. Governor Pat McCrory signed the bill in March, referring to North Carolina’s expectation of privacy and “basic community norms.”
In the new ad, Christopoulos’s colleague Patricia Hickling Beckham says, “I remember when I learned that Zeke was transgender, and had transitioned from female to male. And I was a little uncomfortable…” Zeke notes, “And I get that,” before Hickling Beckham adds, “But when you stop and think about it, everyone needs to use the bathroom just to get through their day. And a law that forces Zeke to use the women’s restroom is totally inappropriate.””*
