“The NBA’s decision to return to North Carolina while anti-LGBT laws remain on the books is troubling,” Hudson Taylor, executive director of Athlete Ally, said in an email to Carolina Journal. “We’re hopeful the NBA and its partners will use this opportunity to invest in the safety and well-being of the LGBT athletes, coaches, fans, officials, and administrators that continue to operate in a state that discriminates against them daily.”
Additionally, 57,000 people have signed a CREDO Action petition calling for Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott not to send student athletes to North Carolina until non-discrimination laws satisfying the LGBT community’s concerns are in effect statewide.
