3. Maybe. The vote in the Legislature hasn't happened yet

and FWIW it looks like Charlotte just voted to repeal its anti-discrimination ordinance that prompted the NC Legislature to do the "emergency session" in the first place to slap HB2 on the state, so even if HB2 gets repealed (which would be good on a number of levels), basically things would go back to how it was before Charlotte passed their anti-discrimination ordinance, so no more protections for Transgender (LGBTQ?) individuals in Charlotte period. Sort of a hollow victory if this is the case IMHO.
