Abstract:

This article takes a closer look at the mayor of Charlotte, during a time when the city is at odds with the state legislature over transgender civil rights issues. After the state passed a bill effectively nullifying civil protections given to the LGBTQ community by the municipal governments, Charlotte faces an economic backlash from business and entertainment boycotts, and travel bans from other states.
