A federal lawsuit aimed at dismantling North Carolina's sweeping anti-LGBT law is just getting under way, but the nation's high court already struck down an eerily similar law. That ruling celebrates two decades of precedent this month.

Imagine, for a moment, that a proactive city council votes to extend nondiscrimination protections to LGBT people. The ordinance guarantees equal access to public accommodations and freedom from discrimination in housing, employment, and health and welfare services. You know, the basics. 

********************************************
The case does look eerily similar and hopefully be decided striking down this oppressive and onerous law HB2. JMHO
