They lasted a year

Not a full repeal but the ball is going back to the NCAA's court:

quote:

HB2 was passed last March under former Gov. Pat McCrory. The bill sparked a massive political and financial backlash and a showdown with the NCAA. The NCAA has said it would not let North Carolina host college championship games through the year 2022 unless there were changes to the law made by Thursday.

quote:

The state's House passed the bill 70-48 on Thursday afternoon after nearly two hours of heated debate. The state's Senate passed the bill by a 32-16 vote earlier in the day, after a deal was struck late Wednesday by the state's new Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who campaigned on fully repealing the HB2 bill, and North Carolina's leading Republican lawmakers, who have supported the measure.

I just don't give a frick about bathrooms. Can we just go back to awkwardly avoiding eye contact and leaving as fast as possible?

Good. Neither side needs to be making laws regarding this bs. Just leave it to the businesses

If one wants girls with dicks in the girls restroom then fine. If they don't then that's fine too.

Good this bill was dumb to begin with. It was implemented by republicans that want to discriminate pointlessly.

I love this.


When social progress meets capitalism. Take that crap and shite back to the shitty 1950s

America was made greater today because of this repeal.

The social issue aside a second. Is it the NCAAs place as a non-profit to be getting involved on a States social matter the way they did? Also, wondering if they held the UNC stuff over their heads too, and not just the tournament stuff.

Will be interesting to see where the battle between TX, and the NCAA will go here. The NCAA is starting to make this a cross state lines deal, so may end up at the fed level at some point. If so, wonder if Pence will pay the NCAA back for them throwing threats around when IN was trying to make some similar topic laws.

Frankly just tired of all the new "norms". Who can keep up, and why am I the bad person for just keeping it simple at "men have penis', and women have vaginas." As it's been since the beginning of human time.
