The Southern Community: NC House Bill 2 Sparks Civil Justice lawsuit
Greensboro—House Bil 2 passed in North Carolina. The bill will reverse previous law to allow transgenders to use the bathroom they gender identify with.
Attorney General Lynch said of the bill:
"The legislature and the governor placed North Carolina in direct opposition to federal laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex and gender identity. More to the point, they created state-sponsored discrimination against transgender individuals, who simply seek to engage in the most private of functions in a place of safety and security – a right taken for granted by most of us. "
