The American Civil Liberties Union announced Monday it is filing a federal lawsuit in response to a controversial North Carolina law that opponents say is discriminatory to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The law, passed by the state’s General Assembly and signed by Gov. Pat McCrory (R) last Wednesday, prohibits people from using bathrooms that don’t match their biological sex and also bans municipalities from creating their own antidiscrimination policies.

The legislation was a response to a measure passed by the city of Charlotte last month that provided protections to the LGBT community and allowed transgender people to use public bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity.

The ACLU filed the lawsuit in conjunction with Lambda Legal, a national gay rights legal organization, and Equality North Carolina, another gay rights group.

2. It's sad that on Facebook...

most of my friends are making comments about how they're uncomfortable with having men in the bathrooms with them. That's so hateful. So hateful.
