vetoed by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, with Republican lawmakers later overriding the vetoes to pass the transgender restrictions into law.Robinson has routinely vilified members of the LGBTQ community, suggesting as recently as last month that transgender women should be arrested for using multi-user bathrooms or changing facilities that align with their gender identity.Criticizing those who complain about North Carolina’s restrictions on restroom use, Robinson said the state would not accommodate people who do not want to use spaces that align with their assigned sex at birth, saying such people should instead “find a corner outside somewhere to go.”Robinson has become known for his anti-gay diatribes and outspoken opposition to LGBTQ visibility and civil rights, calling LGBTQ people “filth,” comparing them to “maggots” and “cow dung,” claiming they’re turning the United States into a “hellhole,” and claiming that God “formed” him to fight LGBTQ visibility in society.

Since launching his campaign for governor, he has focused intently on culture-war issues, including transgender rights, making inflammatory comments in an effort to rally social conservatives around his campaign.Those comments include accusing teachers of “trying to push homosexuality and transgenderism” in schools, and claiming that homosexuality is not only unnatural but serves no purpose and creates “nothing,” pointing to same-sex couples’ inability to procreate.Robinson often declares that support for LGBTQ rights is incompatible with being Christian.

In March 2023, he established himself as a crusader against LGBTQ rights, declaring that God had created him to lead such a fight.
