Repeal of North Carolina's anti-LGBT bill HB2 may never see light of day.

This week, Democrats worked together to construct a repeal of North Carolina's dangerous anti-LGBT bill HB2. Unfortunately, it may not be given consideration. The bill has been assigned to Republican co-chairmen Rob Bryan and Hugh Blackwell in the Judiciary Committee. These men are avid supporters of the anti-LGBT HB2 bill. It is expected that the repeal won't even be discussed in committee.

My Two Cents

In some strange way, I expected this. North Carolina has a strong Republican nation, and they never budge on their bigotry, even if it costs their state billions of dollars in funding, and several thousand job losses.

The Republicans don't care who they bring down, as long as their convictions are law. I guess they were absent that day in Sunday school when "Love thy Neighbor" was discussed.
I know that the Democrats will come up with something. HB2 is dangerous and damaging in so many ways.
North Carolina is a beautiful state. Unfortunately, it is run by ugly people. I don't want to see the beautiful parts of NC overlooked because of the ugly governor and ugly Republicans.

Hopefully they can kill HB2 before it is written on the November ballot as a constitutional amendment.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
