5:41Now PlayingThe U.S. Justice Department has ordered North Carolina to reverse their anti-transgender bathroom laws because they violate the Civil Rights Act. Republicans in the state are refusing to back down. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Republican leaders in North Carolina on Thursday refused to back down from a law regulating which restrooms can be used by transgender people after the federal government told the state the law violated the U.S. Civil Rights Act.
The state’s leading Republican lawmaker, House Speaker Tim Moore, told reporters in Raleigh that North Carolina would not be “bullied” into meeting the U.S. Justice Department’s Monday deadline to change the law.
North Carolina is the first U.S. state to pass a law requiring transgender people to use public bathrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate instead of the gender with which they identify.
Republican legislators in several other states have proposed similar laws, making transgender rights a hot-button social issue in an election year.”*
