SLIPKNOT Taking A Stand Against Bigotry In North Carolina - “We Don’t Care Where You Pee - Just Please Flush”
August 2, 2016, 8 years ago
Slipknot has partnered with North Carolina’s leading LGBT charity, and condemned the state’s anti-LGBT law, reports PinkNews.co.uk.
North Carolina has lost a string of big investment ventures over Governor Pat McCrory’s decision to sign the contentious HB 2 – which voided all local ordinances protecting LGBT rights, banned transgender people from using their preferred bathroom, and permits businesses to discriminate against LGBT people on the grounds of religious belief.
McCrory continues to insist the anti-trans rules are “common sense” – but the state has faced a string of lawsuits over the law.
