* NBA will consider Charlotte as host for 2019 All-Star Game
* League decision on new host will be made in coming weeks (Adds NBA confirmation, reaction)
July 21 (Reuters) - The NBA is moving its 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte, North Carolina, given its objections to a state law decried as discriminatory against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, the league on Thursday.
The NBA has been opposed to House Bill 2, or HB2, since it was passed in March and tried to work with local governments to change the law before ultimately making a decision of relocating its mid-February exhibition.
