HRC Calls McCrory's Support of HB 2 Compromise "Kiss of Death"
As the bill heads to the governer's desk, the former governor shows his support for it.
As North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper debates whether to sign a partial repeal of House Bill 2, former Gov. Pat McCrory tweeted out his support of the repeal.
\u201cI urge #NCGA & @NC_Governor to finally stick with this deal that still respects privacy and let Supreme Court resolve issue for our nation.\u201d— Pat McCrory (@Pat McCrory) 1490844231
Chad Griffin, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, called McCrory's support a "kiss of death."
\u201cThis is all you need to know about the #HB2 \u201cdeal." Warning Dems, kiss of death. #ncpol https://t.co/ROAISD2mMI\u201d— Chad Griffin (@Chad Griffin) 1490849516
The partial repeal of HB 2 has been criticized by LGBT advocates because it includes a moratorium that prevents cities in the state from passing nondiscrimination ordinances for at least four years.
The bill has been passed by both the House and the Senate. It is headed to Gov. Roy Cooper's desk next and he is expected to sign it. Cooper was elected to replace Pat McCrory partly because he promised he would act to repeal HB 2. The same LGBT advocates who supported his election are now shunning him.
\u201cEvery lawmaker who supported #HB2 "deal" has betrayed the LGBTQ community. Discrimination remains legal under new dangerous law. #NCpol\u201d— Chad Griffin (@Chad Griffin) 1490895836
