The GA has screwed up so bad that the only thing to quiet things down would be a complete repeal. Can they not see that the executive order the Gov signed did nothing. How bad will things have to get for them to see the light. Another convention of corp. executives just cancelled their week long conference slated for the fall. A loss of over 1 million. Come on guys WAKE UP

Pat's legacy will be destroying North Carolina's economy. I'm afraid, even with the potential repeal, the trust of fortune 500 companies in NC will be lost for decades. The 12 hour HB2 bill will reverberate throughout NC for the next few decades and our children will be the ones to suffer the economic disaster if they even decide to stay in the state.

It really has hurt NC's brand, for people who aren't from around here when they think of North Carolina the first thing they think of is this anti-LGBT policy. That is terrible publicity for a state that wants to attract young well educated talent. We look like freakin Mississippi.

Yeah, this has generated 100x the negative press that Amendment One did. I've had friends on FB message me asking if I regret moving back to NC. It is just sad to see this happening.
