Not Raleigh, or Charlotte, or Greensboro—it was Hillsborough, a town of 7,000 people, who made history Monday night by enacting North Carolina s first LGBTQ anti-discrimination policy in the ashes of HB 142. The ordinance passed unanimously.
“The nondiscrimination ordinances that Hillsborough and localities across the state will pass show the commitment we as local officials have to the constitutional principle of equal protection under the law,” Commissioner Matt Hughes said in a statement. “As a biracial gay man myself, it brings me hope that our constituents know we not only see them, but that we will d ....
