North Carolina’s LGBT discrimination law continues to have negative consequences for the state. PayPal canceled plans to expand into North Carolina, and thus create 400 new jobs. And on Friday, Bruce Springsteen canceled his North Carolina show.

According to Raw Story, there’s a new activist campaign in North Carolina encouraging people to call McCrory’s office every time they use the public restroom to report on their compliance with the law.
