By Cherranda Smith Jan 8, 2021 North Carolina became the last state in the nation to provide domestic violence protections to LGBTQ people after making such protections mandatory in a new ruling from the state’s Court of Appeals.  “We know intimate partner violence doesn’t discriminate, and neither should state laws protecting people from that violence,” Irena Como, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU of North Carolina told WRAL.com.  Como represented the woman who challenged the law that had prohibited people in same-sex relationships from receiving intimate partner violence protections under the law.  The state law, 50B protective orders, limited protection to “persons of opposite sex who live together or have lived together” or “persons of the opposite sex who are in a dating relationship or have been in a dating relationship.” Protections under 50B also extended to people who have a child together or share a household.
