North Carolina passes a bill that Protects LGBT kids


The North Carolina house and senate passes a bill that protects students bullied for their perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity.

Now the bill goes to Gov. Beverly Perdue, so she can to sign it into law.

This is great news for LGBT youth who are teased and bullied for being themselves. Great news.

Here's a great quote from Dems representative, Grier Martin:
"To oppose this bill because you object to [gay or transgender people] is to fight the culture wars on the back of a child."
So True
