When NC passed its anti-trans “bathroom bill,” cities fought back.

🏙️ Charlotte and Durham used local policy to protect rights:

➤ Non-enforcement
➤ Hiring protections
➤ Civic programming

So let's talk about #HB2. I'm going to look http://www.hrc.org/blog/breaking-more-than-80-major-ceos-business-leaders-demand-north-carolina-rep @hrc gift horse in the mouth. Why does letter omit mention of trans?

Looking for something else I came across this #song which was written in protest of #NorthCarolina #HB2 or the "bathroom bill" passed in 2016 and later repealed. Performed by the band Craicdown. Great song and video filmed at #Arcana. I'm playing #bass on the soundtrack but don't appear in the video (would have been fun!)

Transgender bathroom bills are back. Does the nation care?

A transgender “bathroom ban” in North Carolina caused a national uproar in 2016, but the public reaction to a similar passed in Utah Monday has been minimal.
