Marty Rouse, National Field Director for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organisation, issued the following statement:
“It is tremendously disappointing that the legislature chose to override Governor McCrory’s veto of this misguided and mean-spirited legislation. Allowing public officials the ability to opt-out of the job they are paid by the public to do is completely contrary to the purpose of public service and should have no place in North Carolina law.”
