In eny case it is not a "liberal dilemma" that liberals feel obliged to support Muslims because of Muslims being antiGay.

You're purposely not paying attention.  Liberals don't feel obliged to support Muslims because of their being anti-gay.  They support Muslims because they're the current politically correct flavor of the month.  And when faced with a radicalized version of Muslim, who would actually support the killing of gays, creates the dilemma.  That's the point being made

Muslims are NOT any 'flavor of the month'. No one seriously argues that they should be given more rights than anyone else.
Trump wants to exclude them from the country, and patrol "Muslim neighborhoods'.
No one defends Muslims killing Gays, which, by the way is not something Muslims routinely do.

Two premises, both wrong.

They are "protected" in the sense that it is illegal to bludgeon them.

Everyone is protected from that.....including the incarcerated.  No, we're referring to those groups that the left surrounds with politically correct rhetoric, even to the point of defending even the asanine, like condeming a law that simply states men are to use the men's room.  Defending anyone that crosses into our country illegally.  Defending the allowing of Muslim prayer and study in Public schools while condeming/banning even off hour Christian prayer, if on school grounds.

THAT kind of politically correct protection

It is a singularly stupid law.

How are they going to enforce that law?

Some man who considers himself to be female, dressed like a woman and probably looking like one as well, enters the Wal*Mart lavatory, enters a stall, takes a piss or a dump and then walks out.

What sort of person is going to report this? What cop is going to bother to arrest this  feminine looking man and demand to see his birth certificate?

When I go into a public lavatory, I pay as little attention to anyone else in there as possible, do what I came to do, and leave. It has not once occurred to me that  behind that stall door was a woman taking a dump rather than a man. Nor can I bring myself to care.

Like the "defense of marriage" laws passed earlier, this law was passed with great fanfare to increase the turnout of fundamentalist yokels and hicks at the polls so the better educated people around the Research Triangle area would not vote the yokel governor and his hick pals in the legislature out of office.

Stupid was the necessity of the law, in the 1st place.  Which reinfoces how political correctness is literally a virus, infecting more and more rational thought, and replacing it with asine hypocritical defense mechanisms

A man is a man is a man is a man.  It matters squat what he "feels"

  Don't loose sight of the fact that the LGBT supporters of Charlotte moved first on this stupid issue.

    Then in some sort of Jujitsu they make the response to their stupid initiative seem more stupid.

      How indeed were the businesses of Charlotte supposed to obey the city ordinance that was to ensure that transgender people got to use the bathroom of their own choice? Who was supposed to be asking?

Stupid does not require a rhyme.

This was part of Charlotte's bid to lure away convention business from Atlanta.
There would have been no reason whatever to respond to it, other than some yokel politicos trying to win the yokel vote.

Charlotte is in no position to compete with the much larger Atlanta that theory is a non-starter.

This was the LGBT of Charlotte trying to ensure that their city did not offer any freedom to shopkeepers .

It is stupid , very stupid , but the LGBT do not come off as any smarter as a result .

If Charlotte can lure some conventions away from Atlanta, it is certainly a plus for Charlotte.

OK if you want to stick to that theory.

Then as a strategry it seems to have failed.

Is there an organization that was looking for a venue better than they could find in Atlanta? Specifically a venue that welcomed transgendered people into restrooms as desired?

This seems far fetched.

But for the sake of argument , how was this ordinance ever going to be enforced?

Enforcing bathroom laws is symbolic. They are unenforceable.
I have no idea how successful Charlotte is or has been at attracting conventions. I do not think this particular ordinance was useful.

I wonder what all these pro anything goes restroom jackasses are gonna say when a so called transgender teen boy wants to shower after PE class in the girls locker-room? Before this non-sense he could be kicked out without any legal consequence. Or what about at LA Fitness when some bearded 50 year old sick fuck is walking around with a hard-on wants to shower in the women's locker-room at LA Fitness with soccer Mom's? How that gonna work Target assholes?
