FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\u00a0
Pride Winston-Salem

\u00a0This week, NC republicans in the Legislature overrode\u00a0
Governor Cooper\u2019s vetos of 2 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that were passed earlier this year.\u00a0
Pride Winston-Salem stands with other LGBTQ+ organizations in denouncing this action in the strongest terms.\u00a0

North Carolina is about to become the 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0state in the US to pass laws limiting and in most cases denying transgender healthcare , including hormone therapy.\u00a0The second bill is directed at transgender people participating on\u00a0sports teams that are not their biological match.

Undoubtedly, the passage of these laws will wind their way through the court system and the discriminatory tone of the bills will be exposed.

\u00a0Pride Winston-Salem will continue to monitor and work with other LGBTQ+ groups to bring attention to the progress as well as support the LGBTQ+ community in any way we can.\u00a0

Pride Winston-Salem\u2019s transgender program-\u00a0

TransExpansive Network<\/strong>\u00a0
