ACLU Taking North Carolina to Federal Court over LGBT Rights
The ACLU is taking North Carolina to federal court, trying to undo what the state did to the city of Charlotte.
FOX’s Eben Brown explains:
It’s also LGBT rights group Equality North Carolina, looking to defend a Charlotte city ordinance aimed at protecting transgenered rights. They’re suing on behalf of Joaquin Caranyo, among other LGBT North Carolinians, for who that Charlotte ordinance would have let him use a public men’s room:
(Caranyo) “Yes, I am a transgender man, but I am a man. That is not something that can be stripped away by a bill such as this.”
Caranyo is listed as the plaintiff in the federal lawsuit. North Carolina governor Pat McCrory is the listed defendant.
