A North Carolina state senator on Thursday called for Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson to resign after he made comments referring to homosexuality as "filth".
In a tweet State Senator Jeff Jackson said, "North Carolina's Lt. Governor, Mark Robinson, just angrily referred to the LGBTQ community as 'filth.' Then he says, 'Yes I called it filth.' There's no debate here. This is open discrimination. It is completely unacceptable. Mark Robinson should resign."
