HOW ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH DELIVERED EPIC RESPONSE TO HB2
This is not a time to act out of fear. This is a time to summon our national virtues of inclusivity, diversity, compassion and open-mindedness. What we must not do what we must never do is turn on our neighbors, our family members, our fellow Americans, for something they cannot control, and deny what makes them human."
"This is why none of us can stand by when a state enters the business of legislating identity and insists that a person pretend to be something they are not, or invents a problem that doesnt exist as a pretext for discrimination and harassment."
She also urged the state not to repeat the mistakes of the past, pointing out that it wasn't so long ago that restrooms were segregated on the basis of race.
