>>Well, that's their decision. However, here's a list of areas where PayPal operates, and/or has partnered with other outfits:

>>- Dubai (The United Arab Emirates threatens those who engage in same-gender acts with the death penalty)
>>- Moscow (where there's been a history of violence against gays who receive little protection from their govt)
>>- Istanbul, Turkey (PayPal has regional HQ there, in a country where Amnesty International has published numerous reports on honor killings, violence against LGBT)
>>- Malaysia (transgenders face arrest, physical assault, and denial of health care and jobs)
>>
>>And yet PayPal is more concerned about a law on keeping men from using women's restrooms. This is "social warrior justice" at its finest.

Or Charlotte was out for some other reason anyway ...
