Still reeling on the backlash from its discriminatory “bathroom bill,” North Carolina is back with yet another attack on the LGBT community.
Reps. Larry Pittman, Michael Speciale, and Carl Ford, all Republicans, on Tuesday filed House Bill 780, or the “Uphold Historical Marriage Act,” that would not only ban gay marriage in the state of North Carolina but would also not recognize existing marriage — no matter what state they were conducted in.
According to the bill, the Supreme Court “overstepped its constitutional bounds” in its landmark Obergefell v. Hodges decision in 2015, which legalized gay marriage nationwide.
