While in North Carolina this week for the NFL owners meetings, 49ers CEO Jed York extended a gift of $75,000 to a statewide organization that seeks equality and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. He also urged the governor of the state to repel a recently passed controversial law.
Equality NC announced in a press release that York chose to meet with advocates and transgender North Carolinians to learn more about the negative impact of the new law.
The law is known as HB 2, the Charlotte bathroom bill or the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act.
