The NBA has spent much of the spring and early summer engaged in one of the more notable state policy issues of 2016. In February, the North Carolina legislature passed House Bill 2, one of the most sweeping anti-LGBT laws in the nation. Although primarily known for its controversial “bathroom law” that forces transgender people from using the restroom assigned to the gender they were born into rather than the one they have chosen, HB 2 barred the creation of any new laws extending anti-discrimination to the LGBT community and even set limits on changes to the minimum wage.
