Henry Rollins Tore North Carolina's Governor a New One over State's Anti-LGBT Law
"For private-sector bigots, it is now open season," Henry Rollins declared in his LA Weekly column eviscerating North Carolina Republican Governor Patrick McCrory and the state's House Bill 2, a law which prohibits trans individuals from using the bathroom that matches their gender identity.
In addition to being a badass punk rocker and A+ gingerbread house decorator, Rollins is a motivational speaker and commentator. He's also a fan of North Carolina, where he says he spent a few summers as a child.
"Judging from the people of the state I have met over almost 50 years, I can't believe they are pleased with House Bill 2. They probably are wondering how they got to where they are now," he wrote.
Of North Carolina's governor, Rollins said:
He will be dimly remembered as the asshole who signed that fucked-up bill that embarrassed the majority of North Carolinians... Gov. McCrory will no doubt be getting more bad news as money big and small either leaves the state or goes around it... HB2 is now law. There is no 'walking it back.' If McCrory eventually caves and tries to repeal it, everyone will know it's because he values money over his homophobia, which he has poorly disguised as moral rectitude and common sense. Either way he's fucked.
Indeed.
