Dear family and friends in North Carolina,

Undoubtedly you know by now that your state’s General Assembly went out of their way to hold a one-day special legislative session on Thursday, 23 March 2016, to pass a single bill in response to Charlotte’s LGBT antidiscrimination ordinance. It was, as you know, promptly signed into law by the state’s Republican governor, Pat McCrory.

Now, there is nothing more I can say that has not already been more eloquently and forcefully said by others about how this law is an egregious affront to human rights, local authority, and basic decency. I can, however, provide the following “wall of shame”: the name of every state representative and senator who voted for the law, along with the district and county(-ies) he/she represents—so you know which bums to throw out this November.

Official legislative information on House Bill 2, now Session Law 2016-3
My Facebook post with this information, which I invite you to share
