NC: Putting the heel in Tar Heel: Federal funding to North Carolina under review

North Carolina’s House Bill 2 has been the subject of controversy all over the nation – so much so that five federal agencies are considering withholding funds from the state in response to the bill, which blocks anti-LGBT discrimination lawsuits. 
 
House Bill 2 blocks local governments from creating their own rules regarding gender and sexual discrimination, as well as employment, wages, and public accommodations. Critics say the law targets the LGBT community, while supporters claim that HB2 protects religious freedom by not requiring people to serve same-sex couples if it goes against their faith. HB2 also requires that individuals use public bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their biological gender, rather than the gender with which they may identify.

    Thanks Gov. McCrory. The state of North Carolina could
    always withhold funding to the fed gov. and keep if for
    themselves. LGBT's can use an outhouse set up all over for
    just their use, like Obama's outhouse.
