Restrooms have been in the news for the last year since North Carolina legislators passed HB2 on March 23, 2016.

House Bill 2 has had a significant impact on North Carolina's image and economy. 瓜神app - North Carolina Public Radio has covered the story since the law passed on March 23, 2016.

House Bill 2 advanced through the North Carolina General Assembly last year and almost immediately became a divisive issue across the state.

Among other things, the law requires people to use public bathrooms that correspond with the sex listed on their birth certificate.

It's a controversial law that almost immediately set off a national debate about public safety, common sense, and government authority.

At the heart of the debate is the intersection of gender identity, religion, politics and power.
