Governor Pat McCrory is calling for more dialogue on the issue of transgender people and bathroom use. But the governor says he stands by provisions of HB2 regarding access to facilities.
McCrory appeared Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" to talk about House Bill 2, which he signed into law last month. On Tuesday, he issued an executive order expanding protections for some state workers based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
McCrory reiterated that he will ask legislators to repeal a part of the law that bans workers from filing discrimination claims in state court.
But he remains firm on the most contentious portion of the law, which requires people to use restrooms conforming to the sex on their birth certificate.
The executive director of Equality NC said Sunday that McCrory acknowledged signing a bad bill. Chris Sgro says the governor should work to repeal the entire law.
