But the way in which this change came about might be even worse. The General Assembly didn’t hold a special session for the first time in 35 years to respond to Charlotte’s nondiscrimination ordinance —it used it as a diversion to roll back back rights for North Carolina employees. When lawmakers framed the debate as one about “bathrooms” they had already won. Calling House Bill 2 a Trojan horse is misleading. Trojan horses are far less deceptive. It’s more like a plague infested rat scurrying into a sleepy Medieval European town. The rats were pests, to be sure. But the hidden disease was far more destructive. The General Assembly and our Governor passed a rat of a Bill that, itself, is quite disgusting. Unfortunately for North Carolinians, that rat carried something even more sinister.
