Here’s All the Business N.C. Has Lost Because of Anti-LGBT Bill
Posted by ADA Sign Depot on Apr 15, 2016
Passing an anti-LGBT bill has not been profitable for North Carolina. Since North Carolina passed an anti-LGBT bill March 23, the backlash from businesses and entertainers has been swift. Corporations have canceled expansions in the state, therefore scrapping jobs that they were planning to offer, in protest of House Bill 2.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have canceled their Sunday night concert in Greensboro, North Carolina to protest the state’s passing of the controversial Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, also known as the “bathroom bill.” In a note on the rocker’s official website, Springsteen condemned lawmakers for passing legislature that infringes so heavily on the rights of the state’s LGBT community. “No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden,” Springsteen wrote.
Much of the focus on the aftermath of House Bill 2—the anti-LGBTQ, fair-wage, and worker-protection legislation signed into law March 23—has centered around Charlotte and Raleigh until this point. PayPal killed a plan to create four hundred new jobs in Charlotte, and the NBA may move its 2017 All-Star Game out of the city’s Time Warner Cable Arena.
