DOJ Sues North Carolina Over Anti-Trans HB 2
The federal government of the United States is suing North Carolina over its sweeping anti-LGBT law known as House Bill 2.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced a federal civil rights complaint, filed today in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, in a press conference at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
"This is about a great deal more than bathrooms," Lynch told reporters today. “This is about the dignity and respect we accord our fellow citizens, and the law we as citizens and a country have enacted to protect them.
It is about the founding ideals that have led this country, haltingly, but inexorably in the direction of fairness, inclusion, and equality for all Americans.”
