LGBTQ North Carolinians eligible for domestic violence protections following court ruling

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A new Court of Appeals ruling would allow LGBTQ North Carolinians to get domestic violence protections under state law.
In fact, North Carolina was the last state in the country to deny domestic violence protections to those in same-sex relationships. The Thursday ruling named the current guidelines unconstitutional in a divided 2-1 decision.
The Court ruling stemmed from the Wake County M.E. v. T.J. case back in 2018. M.E was a survivor of domestic violence who was denied a protective order because she was in a same-sex relationship.
In the opinion of the court, Democrat Chief Judge Linda McGee wrote, "By telling Plaintiff that her existence is not as valuable as that of individuals who engage in "opposite-sex" relationships, the State is not just needlessly endangering Plaintiff, it is expressing State-sanctioned animus toward her."

Here are five particularly noteworthy stories from the past 12 months:

After the pandemic closed UNC System schools and sent students home for a semester of remote learning, the question of bringing them back for the fall was fiercely debated. Students, faculty and staff argued against returning to in-person instruction and congregate living. At UNC-Chapel Hill, the system’s flagship campus, the Orange County Health Director advised against it. But UNC System administrators and chancellors decided to push ahead with their plan anyway.
