The attacks on trans people at the North Carolina legislature are clearly part of a coordinated national campaign from the political right that has also impacted a number of other institutions. This week marks the end of Pride Month and it’s clear that the anti-LGBTQ movement led by the Trump administration has managed to temper the support of some traditional Pride Month supporters in the corporate community.

That said, as NC Newsline’s Rob Schofield learned in a conversation with Equality North Carolina executive director Eliazar Posada, many other Pride supporters have stepped up their efforts and despite the actions of some companies and developments at the legislature, the energy, enthusiasm, activism and long-term optimism among equality supporters in North Caroline remains high and on the upswing.
