Speaking on WFAE’s Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory (R) spoke out against a bill in his state's legislature that would mimic the controversial "Religious Freedom" laws in Indiana, which could allow for legalized discrimination against LGBT folks.
“What is the problem they’re trying to solve?” McCrory said during a radio interview. “I haven’t seen it at this point in time.”
McCrory also denounced a bill approved in the state Senate that would allow magistrates to "opt-out" of performing same-sex marriages if they were so inclined.
“I don’t think you should have an exemption when you took an oath to uphold … the constitution of North Carolina,” he said.
