Federal judge approves a legal settlement affirming transgender people's right to use restrooms matching their gender identity in many North Carolina public buildings.
Schroeder had ruled in late 2018 that the replacement law couldn't be interpreted as preventing transgender people from using restrooms in line with their gender identity. Plaintiffs incorporated similar language into their consent decree. The mixed ruling last year, however, rejected some of the transgender people's arguments while letting other parts of the case proceed.
Saying the state is"welcoming to all people," Cooper spokesman Ford Porter said in an email Tuesday that:"Today's decision is an important step to putting the harmful impacts of H.B.2 in the rear view mirror for good."
