Reaction on social media has been quick on the Charlotte Council’s vote to rescind its own LGBT civil rights laws in the expectation of a repeal of the state’s unpopular House Bill 2.
Most of the reaction has been critical, though some note how much damage HB2 did to the state.
This is what the #GOP in #NorthCarolina wanted in the first place. Not holding my breath that the #ncga will repeal #HB2. https://t.co/KQO3q2tPpw

#Charlotte Dems sellout #trans people on the hope NCGOP will repeal #HB2 https://t.co/uwBsXsfSsF #LGBTQ #transphobia

NC businesses and employers will want to keep an eye on this development. Repeal of #HB2 tomorrow? https://t.co/UNpIJSrPkE

@FOmyronpitts We can't ignore that Charlotte was one of the hardest hit cities when it came to #HB2's negative impact on economic investment

#HB2 repeal seems like bad deal for #LGBT community unless #Charlotte plans to pass new nondiscrimination ordinance after Cooper is sworn in

If #NC repeals #HB2, it is not a "win" for Civil Rights. #GLBT people will still be left with no legal protections. #WeAreNotThis #YesYouAre

At the end of the day, if #HB2 gets repealed tomorrow, the fact is #LGBTQ and esp. trans folks are getting thrown under the bus. #CLT #NCpol
