North Carolina was the last remaining state in the country to bar same-sex couples from domestic violence protections.

A new Court of Appeals ruling would allow LGBTQ North Carolinians to get domestic violence protections under state law.

"North Carolina does not currently have any protections for discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and we urge residents to contact legislators to pass protections," they tell Out.

On Tuesday, Dec. 1, a key prong of House Bill 142 (HB142) reached sunset, ending a years-long moratorium that blocked cities and towns in our state from protecting their LGBTQ residents through local non-discrimination ordinances.

From all of us at Equality North Carolina, we wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season.

The expiration of a compromise deal reached amid North Carolina's 2016 House Bill 2 debacle has left the state's gay and trans communities right back where they started.

Some cities are already looking at expanding their local nondiscrimination ordinances to include LGBTQ protections.

Repairing the damage caused by HB2 and the 'compromise' that followed will take all of us.

There is Mother's Day and Father's Day, and now in North Carolina, a day to celebrate parents who fall outside that gender binary.

The sunset of NC's repeal of HB2 could have far-reaching effects, potentially impacting local non-discrimination ordinances and, even, minimum wage rules.
