ORANGE COUNTY, NC – Next week, local elected leaders in Hillsborough, Carrboro, and Chapel Hill will discuss ordinances that would extend nondiscrimination protections to LGBTQ people in key areas, including employment, housing, and public spaces. The ordinances make these communities the first municipalities to discuss LGBTQ-inclusive nondiscrimination protections in recent years. Since 2016, municipalities have been blocked from adopting LGBTQ protections by HB142, but a key prong of the law expired on December 1, 2020. Here are details for each of the City Council or Board of Commissioners meetings:
Monday, January 1 1: The Board of Commissioners for Hillsborough, a town with a population of 7,000, will meet at 7:00pm .
