Update 5/19/16: We have raised $100 so far! Keep the orders coming!

It appears that Pat McCrory wants to be involved with his constituents’ trips to the restroom. To this end, I present to you the Pat McUrinal Screen! With this product, he can be even closer to the actions he insists on involving himself in.

This is what you can purchase and/or urinate on.

I will be selling the urinal screens for $15 per screen. This covers the per/item cost and shipping costs, and $5 of your purchase will be donated to Equality NC, who is helping lead the fight against House Bill 2. I plan to make no money from the sale of this product. If you would like to pay more for your product to support Equality NC, please do so!

I will respond as soon as possible.

Why does this product exist? By now you are probably aware that the General Assembly of North Carolina has recently passed House Bill 2, a measure that supplants and preempts anti-discrimination laws for the LGBTQ community in North Carolina. It endangers the lives and well-being of transgender individuals by legally requiring them to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender on their birth certificate, regardless of their gender identification. Far from being a “common sense bathroom law,” this is an act of outright Homo- and Transphobia. The bill was passed in an emergency legislative session and quickly signed into law by Governor Pat McCrory. The bill also preempted cities and municipalities from signing ordinances raising the minimum wage above the state level, making it hostile to both the LGBTQ community as well as minimum wage workers. For more on why this is ridiculous, you can read a previous post of mine.

If you’re thinking, what the hell am I going to do with a Pat McUrinal Screen? Good question. Here’s some suggestions:

Bring them to your local bar/restaurant to ask them to place the screen in their urinals.

Keep them handy, and drop them surreptitiously in any urinal you happen to use This should be easy, unless a member of the General Assembly is checking equipment at the door, so to speak.

Bring them to protests and hand them out for others to do the same

Bring them to the Capitol building and place them in the urinals there!

Mail some to Pat McCrory

Urinate on them! (Preferably while in a toilet, but this is your prerogative. I support every North Carolinian’s right to urinate on his image.)



To sum: With one purchase, you can support the fight against House Bill 2 and urinate on Pat McCrory’s face. Join the fight!

Note: While the goal of this is to protest this regressive and ignorant bill, I am very aware that the nature of the urinal screen product is gender-exclusive. If you have a corresponding idea for women’s bathrooms or any idea that could raise money to support this cause, please let me know! You can reach me at snthomas49@gmail.com or pat.mcurinal@gmail.com.
