    Press Release:

    RALEIGH     Lt. Governor Dan Forest releases the following statement on special session to repeal HB 2:

  • "Charlotte repealed an ordinance that the General Assembly already voided months ago. I support HB 2 and do not favor its repeal. No eceonomic, political or ideological pressure can convice me that what is wrong is right. It will always be wrong for men to have access to women's showers and bathrooms. If HB 2 is repealed, there will be nothing on the books to prevent another city or county to take us down this path again. The left has already publicly stated the removal of HB 2 is necessary for the rest of their agenda to move forward. With certainty, if HB 2 is repealed, we will fight this battle all over again with another city or county. The names will change, but the national groups who are pushing this agenda will not stop until their social engineering is accomplished. The only thing stopping them are those of us who continue to stand strong."
