Prop. 8 lawyer Ted Olson has joined the Human Rights Campaign in their legal effort to support the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against North Carolina’s discriminatory bathroom bill, HB 2.

HRC announced on Wednesday that Olson will write an amicus or ‘friend of the Court’ brief in support of the DOJ’s suit.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch last week announced the lawsuit against North Carolina and Governor Pat McCrory for violating the rights of transgender citizens.
