This bill will void all local anti-discrimination protection laws (probably to spite Charlotte, which passed such a law recently) and could quite possibly become law before midnight local time after a special session was convened, costing taxpayers 42K to do so, and after an 83-25 vote in the House, state Dem senators staged a walkout after their efforts to at least amend the bill proved fruitless against a tide of propaganda and animus against gay people. After a unanimous passing vote, Governor Pat McCrory says he'll sign it immediately.

Today is a dark day in the civil rights struggle of our age. Today, lies and hatred have won. This is all the more reason to get up tomorrow and fight even harder for the right of everyone to shop where they want, work where they want, and walk the streets without fear of being assaulted because of who they love or how their plumbing works.
