Eight Questions For PayPal Regarding #HB2 Boycott

Apparently, it’s a day for lists of questions. Let’s jump into another

Here’s bit from the article

Mr. Schulman,

On Tuesday, you announced PayPal, where you are the president and CEO, was no longer going to open a new operations center in Charlotte, N.C.,  because “legislation has been abruptly enacted by the state of North Carolina that invalidates protections of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender citizens and denies these members of our community equal rights under the law.”

I have a few questions for you about PayPal’s decision.

1 North Carolina’s new law would ensure that public multi-occupancy bathrooms—not bathrooms controlled by private companies or individuals, such as the PayPal bathrooms—correspond  to a person’s biological sex as listed on their birth certificates (which can be changed). Why does PayPal object to that? Does PayPal believe that providing LGBT Americans “equal rights under the law” requires allowing people who are biologically male to use women’s bathrooms?

7 You wrote in your statement that “the new law perpetuates discrimination.” Does PayPal intend to leave and/or not start company operations in states such as Oregon, where Aaron and Melissa Klein paid a $135,000 fine for not baking a cake for a same-sex couple, or New York, where Robert and Cynthia Gifford have been forced to change their wedding business because they won’t host same-sex weddings at their home? If not, why? What kinds of discrimination does PayPal oppose, and does it include discrimination that people of faith face in America?

Here’s another one: will PayPal pull out of Malaysia?

(Daily Caller) But PayPal’s values didn’t keep the company from opening and maintaining a global operations center in Malaysia, where homosexual acts are punishable by public lashings and jail sentences up to 20 years.

The same day that Schulman issued his statement, Malaysian student Hazim Ismail was granted asylum by Canada because he is gay and it would be too dangerous for him to return to his home country. Ismail testified that he faced persecution in the heavily-Muslim Malaysia because he had been publicly outed as a homosexual. So far, Schulman has remained silent on the persecution of homosexuals in Malaysia.

How about

That’s a question I’ve asked lots of companies, CEOs, and private citizens, such as Charles Barkley, Pepsi and their CEO Indra Nooyi, the NBA, NCAA, local media outlets, local businesses, and, except for one, the Fullstream Brewery in Durham, NC, none have answered. Perhaps that’s because, unlike Fullstream, none have policies allowing the gender confused to use the bathroom of their “gender identity”?

Let’s be clear, making your single stall bathrooms “gender neutral” is a cop out.
