Attorney General Lynch says that
#HB2 is "state-sponsored discrimination against transgender individuals." -
Lynch notes that funding could be at issue moving forward, although the lawsuit is only a declaratory judgment action against
#HB2. -
Lynch connects Jim Crow laws, backlash to Brown v. Bd of Ed, laws against same-sex marriage, and
#HB2. -
Lynch: "This law provides no benefit to society, & only serves to harm" other Americans. "State-sanctioned discrimination never looks good."
-
PHEW. ALL.
-
Lynch, speaking "directly" to trans people: "We see you. We stand with you. And we will do everything we can to protect you forward."
-
Civil Rights Division Chief Vanita Gupta, adding to Lynch's remarks, says to
#trans people: "You belong, just as you are." -
Gupta on what
#HB2 does: "That's sex discrimination, plain and simple. ... Transgender men are men. ... Transgender women are women." -
Lynch on McCrory's comments that feds are bullying: "I think that the people who feel bullied are the transgender people in North Carolina."

I hope Lennon wouldn't mind me altering his lyrics a bit! Can angels sue mortals?!

I think he will be okay with this. It fits today's world. I don't think angels sue.
