North Carolina was ground zero in the nationwide fight over transgender rights with the passage of its 2016 “bathroom bill.”.
Republicans now hold veto-proof majorities in both chambers for the first time since 2018, which has opened the door to some LGBTQ+ restrictions that had not previously gained traction in the state. And, Berger added, “the business community has for the most part decided that they’re going to concentrate on their business and not delve into those matters of policy."
Politicians now have a clearer path to pass these laws without fear of losing revenue, Jenifer said, because it has become riskier for businesses to support trans rights. The governor and several Democratic lawmakers warned repeatedly of a similar economic fallout as the bills moved through the legislature.
“We talk about running our state like a business, but we're costing our taxpayers $42,000 a day because we don't have a budget,” Chaudhuri said. And when the Senate voted in April for a version of the sports measure, Majority Leader Paul Newton of Cabarrus County responded to what he called a “vague threat” by opponents that businesses would retaliate against North Carolina for the bill like they did in 2016.
