here you go boat...........................................The U.S. Justice Department has found that North Carolina's controversial House Bill 2 violates federal law, the Charlotte Observer reported exclusively WednesdayThe Associated Press confirmed the news shortly afterward.

The bill, also known as HB 2, flew through the state legislature during a single day in March and rolled back protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, in part forcing them to use public restrooms that align with their biological sex rather than their gender identity. But the Justice Department reportedly sent a letter to state officials saying it goes against Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which forbids sex-based discrimination by any educational program that receives federal funding, as well as Title VII, which prohibits employers from discriminating on similar grounds.

"Access to sex-segregated restrooms and other workplace facilities consistent with gender identity is a term, condition or privilege of employment," the letter read. "Denying such access to transgender individuals, whose gender identity is different from their gender assigned at birth, while affording it to similarly situated non-transgender employees, violates Title VII."

The letter told North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory he needed to handle the issue by Monday “by confirming that the state will not comply with or implement HB 2,” the Observer reported. Read the letter in full here on WRAL's website.
