How bad is the Anti-Gay bill that North Carolina just passed?
Read the following paragraphs.
On the basis of a complete fabrication, North Carolina just wiped out all non-discrimination laws protecting gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people. It’s the most hateful law passed in the past decade.
North Carolina just wrote, passed, and signed into law the most anti-LGBT measure of the past decade.
The state has undone not just local ordinances protecting transgender people, but all LGBT nondiscrimination provisions across the state. Literally overnight, people in Charlotte and across North Carolina can now be fired from their jobs for being gay, turned away at hotel chains for being gay, and even forced to show their genitals to a police officer if the cop thinks they might be transgender.
And unlike in Georgia, where a constellation of businesses has arrayed to oppose an anti-LGBT bill, bigots in North Carolina don’t even need religion as an excuse.
Nice job NC for this outrageous law, you might lose the All-Star game.
