ACC Joins NCAA in Moving Championships Out of NC over Anti-LGBT Law

HeadlineSep 15, 2016

The Atlantic Coast Conference has announced it’s moving its sports championship events out of North Carolina in response to the state’s decision to pass the anti-LGBT law known as HB 2, or the “bathroom bill.” The law nullifies ordinances protecting LGBT people from discrimination and prohibits transgender people from using the bathroom that matches their gender identity. This comes after the NCAA also announced it was moving its seven championship events out of North Carolina for this academic year.
