NCAA Moving Championships Out of NC over Anti-LGBT Law
------------------------------------------------------

In sports news, the NCAA has announced it's moving its seven
championship events out of North Carolina for this coming academic year,
following North Carolina's decision to pass the anti-LGBT law known as
HB 2, or the "bathroom bill." The law nullifies ordinances protecting
LGBT people from discrimination and prohibits transgender people from
using the bathroom that matches their gender identity. The ACLU is suing
to overturn the law.
