Stephen Curry Urges North Carolina To Change Anti-LGBT Law

Stephen Curry is now a different kind of MVP ― most valuable protester.

The NBA superstar urged lawmakers from his home state of North Carolina to rethink the so-called “bathroom bill” that discriminates against the LGBT community.

The state has paid dearly for the HB2 legislation, losing the NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte, first- and second-round games of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and other NCAA championship events.

The Atlantic Coast Conference also announced it was relocating its football championship from Charlotte, where Curry grew up.

“I think it’s unfortunate for our city and our state to be under the microscope with HB2 and how it’s unfolded,” Curry said in an interview with The Associated Press, published Thursday. “I’m all for equal and fair rights and treatment for everybody. Until it gets addressed, until some changes are made, this could be a recurring theme in North Carolina. I don’t want that to happen.”

A law passed this year in the state restricts bathroom access for transgender people by forcing them to use restrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. Another measure struck down discrimination protections for the queer community.

“It’s a conversation that will continue until changes are made,” Curry told AP.

Curry has made other headlines off the court recently by voicing his support for Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest and revealing he would choose Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
