PayPal Cancels Business Expansion in NC Because Male/Female Restrooms are Discriminatory

Not that PayPal is being discriminatory against anyone...

PayPal has decided that North Carolina is wrong to restrict its citizens from using the bathroom of the opposite sex and has canceled its expansion plans to bring millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs to the state.

Prior plans included hiring 400 people for an outpost of the company in Charlotte as part of a $3.6 million expansion. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman said:

The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture. As a result, PayPal will not move forward with our planned expansion into Charlotte.

As TruthRevolt previously reported, the majority-supported North Carolina law directs all public institution to offer only men's and women's restrooms and single-occupancy or family restrooms, and requires that all individuals use the restroom which corresponds with their gender as noted on their birth certificate, not the gender they identify with.

Critics say the law removes protections from and is discriminatory against the LGBT community. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo restricted "non-essential" government travel to North Carolina because of the law.

PayPal is leading the way for other big corporations like Disney and Marvel that have recently threatened to move their business out of Georgia if similar religious liberty bills are passed in that state.

For these companies, it's all about inclusion -- for ALMOST everybody.
