The North Carolina General Assembly is about to meet in special session to consider a bill — not yet released to the public — which according to those who have seen early drafts rescinds Charlotte’s recent enactment of a bill extending employment and housing protections to LGBT people.
The Associated Press reported that it obtained a copy of one draft of the bill. That draft, according to The AP, “would appear to pre-empt completely what Charlotte added to its non-discrimination ordinance and prevent local governments from passing similar acts.”
Because, you know, all right-minded Tarheels are Southern Baptists, and that’s what the baby Jesus would want them to do.
So there. North Carolina is once again safe for the godly, who will not be expected to treat others with ordinary human decency.
