North Carolina’s so-called “repeal” of HB2 didn’t really end anti-LGBTQ discrimination, and nearly two dozen cities and states won’t take the bait.

North Carolina hurt its economy and reputation by passing HB2 and with their continued oppression of LGBTQ rights. Spin won’t fix it.

The North Carolina Sports Association estimated the state risked more than $250 million in economic impact if event bids submitted to the NCAA are declined.

Advocates of LGBTQ rights took to Twitter immediately following the announced “compromise.” Read their reactions and share your comments with us.

Admitting this bill does not “fully correct” HB2, the Democratic governor told reporters he took the best deal he could get from Republicans.

How can you tell it’s a bad deal? Former Gov. Pat McCrory came out in favor of it, while LGBTQ groups and allies are sounding the alarm against it.

No comment yet from North Carolina’s Democratic governor, Roy Cooper.

The NCAA will be setting championship locations for the next six years soon, and it won’t consider a state with a hateful law like HB2.

A discriminatory law that has cost the state jobs might partly stay in place even with a new Democratic governor.

The former North Carolina governor said that he is having a hard time finding work because people think he is a bigot. (He is.)
