Rock Icons Protest North Carolina’s Controversial House Bill
By Jason Greenough | Arts & Entertainment Editor
Many people around the US are in an uproar over a decision made by the North Carolina House, HB2, known as the controversial “Bathroom Law”, including some of the biggest names in music history. This law, passed in March only one day after being brought to the attention of Governor Pat McCrory, prohibits anyone from entering a public restroom that is not designated for the gender stated on their birth certificate, and further strips local Government of their ability to enact anti-discrimination laws in these cases, and disables the ability for LGBT citizens to sue when their rights are infringed upon in the work place. As you could have guessed, this has proven to be exclusive of those in the LGBT community, specifically those who are Transgender.
