The NBA is taking a stand ag5ainst a HB2, a bill that was introduced in North Carolina’s House of Representatives that among other controversial provisions, blocks measures to protect LGBT People.

The NBA is scheduled to host next year’s all-star game in Charlotte, but in a statement, that’s all in jeopardy because of Governor Pat McCrory’s signing of the bill.

“We are deeply concerned that this discriminatory law runs counter to our guiding principles of equality and mutual respect and do not yet know what impact it will have on our ability to successfully host the 2017 All-Star Game in Charlotte.”

The NBA insinuates that they’ll move the mid-season showcase if HB2 isn’t overturned.

The bill’s questionable and expedient push through the State’s House and Senate was made quicker by the North Carolina’s Democrats walking out in protest of the vote. From Towleroad:

Late this afternoon, the North Carolina Senate voted unanimously, 32-0, to pass a bill approved by the House earlier today which bans all cities in the state from enacting LGBT nondiscrimination ordinances. It also voids all current LGBT rights ordinances on the books in North Carolina, such as the recently passed measure in Charlotte. The vote took place after all Democrats had left. All Republicans present voted yes.

The state’s largest newspaper, The Charlotte Observer, wrote a scathing article decrying McCrory. In the piece, they say that the Governor “joins a sorrowful fraternity of Southern leaders”

It was, in the end, about a 21st century governor who joined a short, tragic list of 20th century governors. You know at least some of these names, probably: Wallace, Faubus, Barnett. They were men who fed our worst impulses, men who rallied citizens against citizens, instead of leading their states forward.

The NBA joins well-known companies Apple, Google, American Airlines, Facebook, Salesforce, Lowes and Microsoft in showing their disappointment in the bill and taking a stand on the workplace equality.
