Paxton: On North Carolina Bathroom Facilities Lawsuit

Ones sex is a biological fact not a state of mind. Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas   This morning North Carolina sued the U.S. Department of Justice to defend the principle that persons should use restrooms and other intimate facilities that correspond with their biological sex. In response to that lawsuit Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced.   

The people of the United States through their representatives in Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ensure in part that men and women are treated equally. Congress has not changed this law to mean that individuals may choose whether they want to be male or female for the purpose of public accommodations. Ones sex is a biological fact not a state of mind and this threat to North Carolina is the latest in a long series of efforts by an unaccountable federal executive branch. My office stands with Governor McCrory and the people of North Carolina regarding this unconstitutional form of federal overreach Paxton said.
