New protections could be coming for LGBTQ community in North Carolina
ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (WLOS) New protections could be a reality for members of the LGBTQ community in North Carolina.
This week, a group of state legislators filed a package of bills that includes a full repeal of House Bill 2. The push comes five years after the controversial bathroom bill, which restricted transgender access to public bathrooms, was first passed.
The package also included a bill that would put a statewide nondiscrimination law into place.
Advocates with the Campaign for Southern Equality said they’ve been working on this legislation for years.
