GOP official tells transgender people to defecate on public street corners

North Carolina’s rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) – who is running for governor this year – said that transgender people should defecate on public street corners outside rather than using bathrooms matching their gender identity.

“We’re going to defend women in this state,” Robinson said in a recent speech in his campaign to become the state’s next governor, WUNC reported. “That means if you’re a man on Friday night, and all the sudden on Saturday, you feel like a woman, and you want to go in the women’s bathroom in the mall, you will be arrested — or whatever we got to do to you.”

Mark Robinson allegedly wagged his finger in her face because she was “equating Black people with gay people.”

“If you are confused, find a corner outside somewhere to go. We’re not tearing society down because of this,” he said in another speech while discussing trans bathroom access.

A spokesperson for Robinson’s campaign declined to clarify whether Robinson supports a resurrection of an anti-trans bathroom bill like H.B. 2, the state’s infamous 2016 law that caused the state to lose an estimated $4 billion due to travel boycotts and canceled events. The law was repealed in 2017.

His comments are just the latest in his long history of viciously anti-LGBTQ+ comments.

In March 2023, Robinson declared that God created him to battle against LGBTQ+ rights and added, “Makes me sick every time I see it — a church that flies that Rainbow flag, which is a direct spit in the face of God almighty.”

In 2017, he wrote on Facebook, “You CAN NOT love God and support the homosexual agenda.”

In 2021, Robinson compared LGBTQ+ people to cow dung and claimed straight people are superior to gay people due to their ability to procreate. In the same sermon, he declared there are only two genders and disparaged trans people’s bodies: “I don’t care how much you cut yourself up, drug yourself up and dress yourself up, you still either one of two things — you either a man or a woman.”

He also said people who support events like Drag Queen Story Hour do so because they desire to molest children.

He has previously proclaimed that being gay is a step before pedophilia, that former First Lady Michelle Obama is secretly a trans woman, and referred to trans-affirming people as “devil-worshipping child molesters.” He also condemned gay people as an “abominable sin” in response to the 2016 Pulse massacre.

Robinson created an education task force to investigate and pull LGBTQ+ literature from public schools, as well as report instances of LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools. Teachers’ names, employers, and information were released unredacted by the report, yet many of the complaints weren’t verified or even authenticated.

Also in 2021, he refused to heed calls for his resignation after he declared that homosexuality and “transgenderism” are “filth.” He has also called the trans equality movement “demonic” and “full of the spirit of Antichrist.”

In November of that year, he allegedly wagged his finger in the face of a state lawmaker who made a speech about supporting LGBTQ+ people.

In 2022, he said climate change is “junk science” and called for eliminating science and social studies education from elementary schools.

Robinson also has a history of antisemitic comments and conduct, loathing Black people who went to see Marvel’s Black Panther due to it being created by a person whom he described as an “Agnostic Jew” and a “Satanic Marxist.” He also stated his belief in the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 was created by a cabal of globalists to try to ruin Donald Trump’s re-election.
