"If you listen to state leaders who oppose HB2, you would never know that
the legislation was crafted as an assault on the civil rights of LGBTQ
people. The discussion today is all about the economic losses inflicted
by sports leagues and corporations that have boycotted the state. Like
the campaign against Amendment One in 2012, opponents of HB2 have
de-gayed the discussion. Why? Because North Carolina politicians and
consultants are scared of the words lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
and queer. They are scared that social conservatives might be
uncomfortable hearing too much about a third rail issue such as the basic
civil rights of gay and transgender people. So they pander. The
opposition to HB2 from leaders in the state is as disingenuous as it
gets."
HB2 hurts economically, but that’s not the point
