US government: North Carolina LGBT law violates civil rights

US government: North Carolina LGBT law violates civil rights The U.S. Justice Department says a North Carolina law that limits protections to LGBT people violates federal civil rights laws.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A North Carolina law limiting protections to LGBT people violates federal civil rights protections and can't be enforced, the U.S. Justice Department said Wednesday, putting the state on notice that it is in danger of being sued and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding.

The law, which also requires transgender people to use public bathrooms that conform to the sex on their birth certificate, has been broadly condemned by gay-rights groups, businesses and entertainers, some of whom have relocated offices or canceled shows in the state. Several other states have proposed similar laws limiting LGBT protections in recent months.

In a letter to Gov. Pat McCrory, the Justice Department said federal officials view the state law as violating federal Civil Rights Act protections barring workplace discrimination based on sex. Provisions of the state law directed at transgender state employees violate their anti-discrimination protections, the letter said.

"The State is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees and both you, in your official capacity, and the state are engaging in a pattern or practice of resistance" of their rights, the letter said.

McCrory's spokesmen did not respond to email and text messages Wednesday. In the past, the governor has defended the law and said he didn't think it would have any financial impact, either on the economy in general or on federal school funding in particular.

But shortly after it was passed, PayPal reversed plans to open a 400-employee operation center in Charlotte, Deutsche Bank froze expansion plans near Raleigh and convention officials reported some meetings were avoiding the state. Nearly 200 corporate leaders from around the country, including Charlotte-based Bank of America, have urged the law's repeal, arguing it's bad for business because it makes it more difficult to recruit talented employees.

The Justice Department has also notified the 17-campus University of North Carolina system that the state law violates Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination in education based on sex, the letter said. That could lead to North Carolina losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal school funding.

The letter effectively serves as a warning to the state to proceed at its own peril or risk being sued.

It has not been uncommon during the administration of President Barack Obama for the Justice Department to weigh in on hot-button civil rights issues. In March, the department sharply discouraged state court administrators from jailing defendants who can't pay court fines for petty offenses. The letter to North Carolina doesn't have the force of law, but it puts the state on notice that its actions are being watched and run afoul of federal civil rights laws.

The letter seeks confirmation by Monday that "the State will not comply with or implement H.B. 2, and that it has notified employees of the State and public agencies that, consistent with federal law, they are permitted to access bathrooms and other facilities consistent with their gender identity."

The government could file a lawsuit to protect state employees from discrimination, the letter said.


Poster Comment:

This law means that transgender people have to use the rest room that they were born with. They are male or female, but cannot be both. They are also know as transvestites.

They are also know as transvestites.

I think transvestites are men who like to DRESS as women, but don't THINK they're women.

Transgender men or women think they ARE the opposite sex.

But then again, ANYONE can claim that they THINK they are, including trannys, child molesters, and all other types of sexual predators.

Just have rows of stalls with locks on every door and be done with it.

Wasn't that easy?

That would be condoning this utterly ridiculous bullshit. Are we Men or transgender mice ???

How is it that these queers, paedophiles and communists can create words that sound harmless while destroying normalcy.
