The latest news out of North Carolina today is their repeal of their controversial House Bill 2 or better know as the "bathroom bill." This controversial piece of legislation limited rights of the transexual community of the state use public bathrooms inline with their gender identity. This comes a massive victory for the LGBTQ community across the country. Fox News reporting on the matter made it seem much less so. They focus in their article about the repeal of the law as a purely "economic decision" as the state faced sanctions no longer from the federal government but from businesses and organizations across America. Including cancelled Springsteen concerts and the loss of their right to hold the NCAA Men's basketball National Championship. The reporting is negative about the repeal to say the least and features quotes only from those who see it as a loss. On the other hand the New York Times article written on the issue focuses much more on the broader meaning of the law passing. The Times talks about it being important financially for the state but also looks at the integrity of the bill as a whole. They raised questions about certain stipulations attached to the repeal as well as get both sides view on the bill which ironically turned out to be negative.
