are outraged at the compromise. cooper turns back on lgbt community. the hb 2 repeal bill is an unmitigated disaster for lgbtq rights and north carolina. maybe in a less polarized era, it would have been possible. but you have to remember what's going on in north carolina. republicans have a vote over proof majority in the legislature. it was this or the status quo. if we're going to start punishing policians by demanding all or nothing at all, then nothing at all is what you're always going to get. this is what compromise will look like in this polarized era. it will stink. but if you refuse to compromise, you won't get anything.
