Suit Challenges North Carolina Law Overturning Anti-Discrimination Measures
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Suit Challenges North Carolina Law Overturning Anti-Discrimination Measures | 28 March 2016 | Gay rights advocates in North Carolina filed a federal lawsuit on Monday, challenging a new state law that overturns local protections for gay and transgender people, and bars transgender people from using public bathrooms that do not match the sexes stated on their birth certificates. The plaintiffs, a coalition of individuals and civil liberties groups, charged that the bill approved on Wednesday by the Republican majorities in the General Assembly, and signed by Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, violated the Constitution and federal anti-discrimination laws. Several large companies and business groups have protested the law, and opponents have predicted an economic backlash against the state.
