HB2 opponents gather to get governor's ear
About 200 people gathered outside the North Carolina Governor's Mansion Saturday afternoon, the latest in a series of protests against a new statewide anti-discrimination law that fails to protect people based on sexual preference or gender identity.
Posted — Updated"Pat McCrory, are you listening," they chanted, "We want better."
They are concerned that a law that requires that transgender people to use the restroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate creates more confusion than it solves.
Georgia Springer says it leaves transgender people like her son unprotected.
Karli Rabi lives as a woman but has no immediate plans for a surgical transition. She says the law will not keep her out of the ladies' room.
"We want to be able to have our families live peacefully and our children go to school and not have anxiety and difficulties," Springer said.
