Tar Heel & Natural States’ Strife!

North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory digs in despite derision from critics including Equality North Carolina’s Chris Srgo, Charlotte employment attorney Kevin Murphy, Democratic lawmaker Billy Richardson, and Daniel Cook’s YouTube-posted McCrory parody (with a report by Pacifica Radio’s Mark Mericle).

Trans LGBT rights advocate Rev. Gwen Fry defends Arkansas’ local anti-bias laws (interviewed by Abby Dees).

And in NewsWrap: activists attack the constitutionality of Kenya’s sex code, a court in China rules against a marriage equality lawsuit, the Roman Catholic Church pressures some 800 big Australian businesses to stop promoting marriage equality, anti-LGBT laws continue to roil Mississippi and Tennessee, Greg Louganis finally gets his Wheaties box, and more international LGBT news reported this week by Carole Meyers and John Dyer V (produced by Steve Pride, written by Greg Gordon).
