this bill is about. Among other things.

The "Bathroom bill " NC HB2

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/article68401147.html

North Carolina’s legislature recently passed a law that prevents transgender people from using bathrooms corresponding to the gender with which they identify. The law — House Bill 2 (HB2) — has incited a state-wide civil liberties battle. Here is the timeline of the so-called "bathroom bill." Ali Rizvi and Nicole L. Cvetnic / McClatchy

The law is most well-known for mandating that people use the bathroom of the gender on their birth certificate, which would stop transgender people from using the bathroom of their gender identity. It also sets statewide nondiscrimination policies for both employment and service in public accommodations; the policies don’t include protections for gay or transgender people.
