This “deal" does NOT repeal #HB2. It’s simply another version of HB2 dressed up in a way desperate lawmakers hope will save state’s economy.
— Chad Griffin (@ChadHGriffin) March 30, 2017
This "deal" on HB2 can't fly with @NCAA and businesses. This is just the same discrimination repackaged. What a dangerous disgraceful stunt.
