Jed York, 49ers provide $75,000 gift to North Carolina LGBTQ organization during NFL owners' meetings

The NFL owners' meetings are taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina this week, and with issues surrounding House Bill 2 (overturned certain protections for LGBTQ individuals, and requires individuals use the bathroom for the sex designated on their birth certificate), there have been some questions about it. LGBTQ groups called for NFL owners to move the meeting, and while other groups, sports, and artists made changes, the NFL elected to move forward with the meetings.

Jed York is on hand for the meetings, and has made a fairly notable statement about HB2. York and the 49ers have presented a gift of $75,000 to the Equality North Carolina Foundation this week.
