On McCrory
Readers respond to McCrory’s continued silence on LGBT equality, the subject of the Aug. 1 editorial, “McCrory can’t ignore LGBT equality” (goqnotes-launch2.newspackstaging.com/30543/):
McCrory had an opportunity, but has chosen the Jessi Helms line against the rights of minority cultures of who are citizens of the State of North Carolina. He was a sorry Mayor and now is a sorry Governor; his epitaph will go down in history as a forgotten person in the annals of time. Or just a footnote about discrimination in the south.Its a pity.

He is the lion that never roared.

“… McCrory’s name will be synonymous with those who attempted to take away the rights of others.” Great line. So true. McCrory simply is a very wrecthed pol. Let’s hope he is a one term governor.

Conversation continues on the similarities and differences between Charlotte Pride and Charlotte Black Gay Pride (goqnotes-launch2.newspackstaging.com/30280/):
I have been to both Prides here in the Queen City and I have volunteer for both Prides in the past and felt very pleased with the two different Prides here in Charlotte.

About Cooper
A reader’s simple takeaway from Attorney General Roy Cooper’s decision to no longer defend Amendment One (goqnotes-launch2.newspackstaging.com/30519/):
“It’s time to stop making arguments we will lose”….Translation; “North Carolina never had a good reason to pass this marriage ban in the first place. We should never have listened to the lies we were told”
