I am so proud of my Town of Chapel Hill--which SLAMMED Gov. McCrory & the State Legislature for HB 2 [View all]

(This is a cross post from GD--want to be sure other DU'ers in NC see it.)


tonight at a special Town Council Meeting. They were called out for discriminatory intent, lack of knowledge and understanding, and lack of respect
for LGBT people and strongly condemned for "supporting this intolerable act of hate".

The Town Council called for repeal of the bill and for the Town Attorney to "explore joining lawsuits that may be brought to address the inequities present in the law."


For the full text of the Resolutions, Attorney's Memorandum, and the Text of HB 2 see this:

I urge people to click on the link and read the really strong wording of the Resolutions.

Thank you, Town Council of Chapel Hill.
