North Carolina's "bathroom bill"

[c172]

There's an old thread on this, but it's been several months since the last post on it. 

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — In a stunning development, the North Carolina law widely derided as the "bathroom bill" appeared to be on its way out after it tarnished the state's reputation, cost it scores of jobs and contributed to the Republican governor's narrow loss.

Democratic Gov.-elect Roy Cooper announced Monday that legislators will hold a special session to repeal the law known as HB2 that limits protections for LGBT people. Undoing the law would be a step toward mending political divisions that remain raw well after Election Day. Just last week, lawmakers called a special session to strip Cooper of some of his authority before he takes office next month.

We'll see how well that works. The North Carolina GOP seems to be throwing a veritable hissy-fit since they lost the governor's office, and I wouldn't be surprised if they try to take measures to prevent this.

North Carolina Republican Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill Friday that strips away power from his Democratic successor, Roy Cooper, before Cooper takes office in January.

Utterly disgusting, I hope this stupidly law gets canned ASAP. What utter ignorance and pure bigotry.
