Abstract:

House Bill 2 has placed North Carolina at the center of the nation’s culture wars triggering lawsuits, demonstrations, boycotts, and intense controversy. The law's most debated section assigns bathroom access in public buildings according to the biological sex listed on the user's birth certificate. The new law is based on an effort to prevent local governments from becoming too proactive, maintain Republican control of state government, and push against legal transgender equality.
