The 2017 NBA All-Star Game will move from Charlotte, North Carolina, because of that state's controversial transgender bathroom law, the league has announced.
The NBA says it will announce a new site in the coming weeks. The NBA also said it hopes to hold the 2019 game in Charlotte "Provided there is an appropriate resolution to this matter."
House Bill 2, signed into law in March, prohibits people from entering bathrooms that do not match the sex on their birth certificates -- a distinction many claim discriminates against the LGBT community. Ref. CNN.
Interesting that the NBA would make this an issue that's big enough to make them move venues but then they're all about maximizing business and they do not want any limitations on who can attend their games. That's a loss for North Carolina and the LGBT community there will be saying, "See!?"
