who don't comply with their version of social norms"

Well said. That is precisely what has happened with HB 2 here in NC and all the legislation being proposed around the country
to to discriminate against LGBT people. The morality warriors--mostly rabid evangelical "Christians"--were so pissed at
the Supreme Court for allowing marriage equality that they've now created a way to discriminate against LGBT AND anybody
who has supported the efforts for equality.

They are a hateful bunch of ignorant bigots. Just hateful. The world would be a better place without them, IMO.
