Nags Head, NC votes to openly oppose so-called bathroom bill [View all]

“I thought we’d get some backlash. I didn’t think we’d get as much as we’ve gotten, shark attacks didn’t bring this much mail,” Oakes says.

Since the passage of HB2, the ‘bathroom bill,’ his inbox has begun filling up with emails from tourists wanting to cancel their vacation rentals.

“The overt bigotry of your state is offensive and so very backwards,” said one customer. Others are asking for their deposits back, “We will no longer be traveling through or vacationing in North Carolina until such a law is repealed,” wrote another....

“This bill is discriminatory and it is a total embarrassment to us, a total embarrassment to the state of North Carolina. It’s just not who we are,” said Mayor Bob Edwards.

So is it okay to go to the OBX if you stock up in Virginia and don't spend a dime (or take a pee

) until you reach Nags Head?
