North Carolina Lawmakers Set to Repeal Anti-LGBT “Bathroom Bill”

HeadlineDec 20, 2016

In North Carolina, the Charlotte City Council voted unanimously Monday to rescind the anti-LGBT ordinance that prompted North Carolina’s House Bill 2, otherwise known as the “bathroom bill.” The law denies transgender people use of the bathroom, changing room or locker room that matches their gender identity. On Monday, North Carolina Governor-elect Democrat Roy Cooper said lawmakers will meet for a special session today to repeal HB 2, which he has called “one of the most discriminatory laws in the country.”
