Pride Under Pressure: Anti-LGBTQ Bills and a Voting Rights Crackdown in the NCGA

from Left of Old North

In this Pride Month kickoff episode, we cut through the corporate rainbow-washing to talk about what Pride means in a moment of relentless attacks on LGBTQ+ rights — especially in North Carolina. From the legacy of HB2 to today’s slate of anti-trans and anti-gay bills, we lay out how the NCGA continues to target queer communities while the GOP escalates efforts to criminalize even the most basic democratic actions — like helping someone register to vote. We break down House Bill 127, a dangerous attempt to restrict voter registration drives, and share what listeners can do to fight back. It’s Pride, it’s political, and it’s personal.
