If you thought last year’s historic Supreme Court decision extending the freedom to marry to all same-sex couples would close the chapter on our nation’s dialogue about equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans – boy, were you wrong. Not just because in 33 states there are still no comprehensive nondiscrimination protections in place; but because Republicans across the country seem to be defying common sense (to say nothing of public opinion) by pushing laws that plainly single out LGBT people for unequal treatment under our laws. North Carolina is this year’s Indiana, and every day there are new headlines about jobs and investments the state just won’t get because of Governor Pat McCrory’s baffling commitment to HB 2.
