I found the info I referenced, and I think I remember you asking if I knew which counties and their ordinances were undermined by HB2\. If it helps, or if organizing leadership is curious and wants to pursue including veterans in their messaging in order to leverage some conservative values here is what I found;

Greensboro county ordinance is [Article VI, Section 2-202](https://www2.municode.com/library/nc/greensboro/codes/code%5Fof%5Fordinances?searchRequest=%7b%22searchText%22:%22military%20status%22%2c%22pageNum%22:1%2c%22resultsPerPage%22:25%2c%22booleanSearch%22:false%2c%22stemming%22:true%2c%22fuzzy%22:false%2c%22synonym%252&ref=gijustice.com)

Orange county ordinance is [Chapter 12, Section 12-7](https://www2.municode.com/library/nc/orange%5Fcounty/codes/code%5Fof%5Fordinances?searchRequest=%7b%22searchText%22:%22unlawful%20employment%20practices%22%2c%22pageNum%22:1%2c%22resultsPerPage%22:25%2c%22booleanSearch%22:false%2c%22stemming%22:true%2c%22fuzzy%22&ref=gijustice.com)

Here is a pretty straightforward article that explains it; [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/north-carolina-lgbt-veterans\_us\_5750a983e4b0eb20fa0d685a](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/north-carolina-lgbt-veterans%5Fus%5F5750a983e4b0eb20fa0d685a?ref=gijustice.com)

Also, you will notice that the biggest employer in Durham County (Duke) makes no mention of their support of veterans in the wake of HB2; [https://today.duke.edu/2016/03/genderid](https://today.duke.edu/2016/03/genderid?ref=gijustice.com)

Thanks for this, Logan. I've briefed Rev Barber on this,
