If you had any illusions about what type of people are animated by North Carolina's transphobic HB2 law, you can put them to rest. The Loyal White Knights of the KKK in Roxboro, North Carolina, is using the GOP-inspired law to recruit new members, reports Tim Pulliam of ABC11 WTVD.
A local woman found a flier in her yard Wednesday morning calling transgender individuals an “abomination” and reading, "These freaks are jeopardizing the safety of bathrooms all across the nation for our women and children. This needs to STOP ... If you're confused and don't know what sex you are today USE A TREE OUT IN THE BACK YARD."
Speaking for myself personally, I'm not super interested in the protection of these knuckle-draggers, to use a characterization I reserve for pretty special situations.
Loyal White Knight members say the organization is based on Christian ideals.
The group said the LGBT rights, interracial relationships and immigration are against their beliefs. The local group formed three years ago and claims to have 50 members. [...]
"People have nothing to be scared of," said Wayne Felker, great Titan of the Loyal White Knights in Roxboro. "We are doing the same thing the NAACP and Black Panthers and everybody else is doing. We're standing up for our race and we have that right."
In the name of GOD! Yep, these are the constituents Republican lawmakers were aiming to please: "Christians." Kudos! Hope they enjoy the chips and refreshments at the next meet and greet.
