Jack W Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 North Carolina's LGBT laws violate national civil rights laws. Preview: Quote The US justice department has told North Carolina that its law limiting protections for LGBT people violates national civil rights laws and must not be implemented. The law invalidated several local anti-discrimination measures that protected gay and transgender people. It also requires people to use public toilets that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificates. The governor has responded by accusing the justice department of "overreach". His office must confirm by Monday that the law will not be implemented, the department said. Governor Pat McCrory said the threat of legal action and the risk of losing federal funds represented new ground in the powers of the federal agency. The state could lose millions in federal funding for education if it upholds the law, known as House Bill 2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36208403 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
