The controversy over NC HB2, better known as the bathroom bill, continues this week. There was a protest against the bill and a rally for the bill on Monday with several from Wilkes in attendance at the support rally. According to Governor McCrory's Office: The anonymously-funded, national smear campaign led by the Human Rights Campaign is grossly misrepresenting information about the petitions delivered to State Capitol Tuesday. Contrary to the media reports, the activists only delivered enough petitions to fill two boxes and the overwhelming majority of signatures were from out-of-state. In comparison, a photo posted online by a reporter at the HRC press conference showed that there were 26 boxes delivered in protest to the bill.
