This is a high point in my life. One of the people I admire most, D.G. Martin, put forward my name for a panel he suggests to resolve North Carolina’s HB2 crisis.

D.G. wrote in a recent column:

“I believe that a panel of people of goodwill representing both supporters and opponents of HB2 could come up with a solution that would be acceptable, maybe not perfect but acceptable, to a large majority of North Carolinians and would be viewed as nondiscriminatory by the gay and transgender communities.”

He threw out a few names, mine and Carter’s included.

I hope D.G.’s idea flies. I would love to serve North Carolina in this way.

Plus, think of the opportunities for potty humor, like:

We’ll flush it out.

We’ll get to the bottom of this.

We’ll bring the issue to a head.

Our work won’t go to waste.

We’ll wipe the slate clean.

North Carolina will be Number 1 again. And Number 2 to no one.

…Please, add your own.
