After filing a suit against the Department of Justice, the DOJ has now filed its own lawsuit against North Carolina.

From NPR:

The state’s legal filing came ahead of an end-of-Monday deadline for North Carolina to respond to the Department of Justice over the law barring protections for LGBT people in the state.

The state law in question, known as HB2, requires transgender people at state facilities, including schools, to use the restroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate — not their identified gender.
