Kim Davis’ lawyers offer to defend NC’s transgender law after attorney general refuses
I had this originally in LBN, but noticed only after posting that it was way past the deadline. My bad.
Kim Davis’ lawyers offer to defend NC’s transgender law after attorney general refuses
Posted 2:43 pm, March 31, 2016, by Web Staff
RALEIGH, N.C. – The lawyers who represented Kim Davis have offered to defend North Carolina’s transgender law in court after the attorney general has refused to.
The Florida-based Liberty Counsel offered pro bono legal assistance in defending House Bill 2 on Thursday after Attorney General Roy Cooper announced earlier this week that he wouldn’t defend it.
Gov. Pat McCrory signed the bill, called the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, last Wednesday after it was passed by the North Carolina Senate.
The law was in response to Charlotte’s nondiscrimination ordinance that allowed transgender individuals to use public bathrooms of the sex with which they identify.
