YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLast week, North Carolina lawmakers repealed the antiLGBT law HB 2, known as the "bathroom bill." But the new law that replaces HB 2 is facing widespread criticism from LGBT activists. While the new law allows transgender people to use the bathroom matching their gender identity, it prohibits municipal governments from enacting antidiscrimination ordinances through 2020. The new law also denies employment and housing protections to the LGBTQ community. For more, we speak with James Esseks, director of the ACLU LGBT & HIV Project. And we speak with Joaquin Carcaño, a transgender man and lead plaintiff in the ACLU lawsuit against North Carolina.
