While I agree with this, I wish they would do something to fix the actual issues in Louisiana like the insurance catastrophe and the lack of economic growth. This is just more political pandering.

He’s going to veto on a real tort reform bill that would actually make somewhat of a difference because of the money the trial lawyers give him

It's about more than that.

You said it yourself in your first post. This is a culture war issue. I get why it's tempting to regard the culture war as not a "real" issue, but it is.

The single biggest driver (not the only one, but the biggest one, and it's not close) of crime and poverty—a couple of "real" issues—is the breakdown of the nuclear family. Single moms raising children. Grandparents raising children because their parents won't. That's a "culture war" issue.

There's lots of research on this. We know that children in homes without a father are:

Four times more likely to be poor
At significantly greater risk of abusing drugs/alcohol
Twice as likely to commit suicide and at significantly higher risk of developing mental/emotional problems
More likely to make poor grades in school
75% more likely to become pregnant as a teen
2-3 times more likely to be expelled from school
80% more likely to spend time incarcerated

We know that:

71% of high school dropouts are children from fatherless homes.
85% of children who exhibit behavior disorders are from fatherless homes.
70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from single-parent homes.
90% of runaways are from fatherless homes.
82% of school shooters were from unstable/single parent homes.

And the US has the highest rate of fatherless households of any industrialized nation.

So it's a real issue. And the LGBTQ issues are related, because the common denominator in all of this is the breakdown of the nuclear family.

Specifically, the traditional nuclear family, with a man and a woman in the house who both biologically produced the children (that's important because when you start bringing stepfathers into the picture, the child abuse rates skyrocket).

Turns out, God knew what He was doing when He designed the family.

And you most certainly will not like this, but He also knew what He was doing sanctioning a specifically patriarchal structure to that family design. Feminism has probably done as much to blow up the nuclear family as anything else.

So all of that is to say that "culture war" issues matter greatly.

A culture that is bankrupt and bereft of traditional Judaeo–Christian values is actually the underlying problem. Everything else is just a symptom.

And that goes for the various sub-cultures we might be considering as well. The culture of government, the culture of the justice system, etc.

I haven’t read the bill, so maybe this is answered in it. But can the government force rules on private bathrooms (businesses). I would think the government could only force this in public bathrooms (state owned).

As much as I think this should be the case, I’m against the government telling us what to do. Freedom. Less government.

Meanwhile, the person using the bathroom finishes up and exits the bathroom. Then what? Will the caller try to detain the suspected trans person until law enforcement arrives? Or will nothing come of it because the suspected trans person will be long gone by the time law enforcement arrives?

I would imagine the same thing that happens if the customer commits any other crime but leaves before LE gets there.

They'll review anything caught on camera, interview witnesses, and conduct an investigation.

But again, this is about more than punishing someone for this incident. It's about pushing back on the complete destruction of the traditional family.

That’s cool and all, but who is checking em at the door of the restrooms? Pervs will always find a way.

It doesn’t have to be like that. The need for this law is when obviously male people wearing dresses are observed lurking in these bathrooms, and much more importantly, showering areas and changing rooms.

As it stands now, no one can tell them anything. Even the building owners and managers have their hands tied. When some bruiser wearing a wig claims woman status at the changing room of the community pool and refuses to leave, the cops can be called.

The rest will take care of itself in the same way it always has.

If a man that can pass as a woman simply goes into the ladies stall at Macy’s to do his business and then leaves, no one will really care all that much, even if it IS against the law.

It’s now against the law for men pretending to be women to use the women’s bathroom.

That’s awesome.

Idk how you fix homeowner insurance issues. I want someone to figure it out but idk what that answer is.
