RALEIGH, N.C.—The North Carolina legislature is expected to meet Wednesday to consider the repeal of House Bill 2, a law passed in March stating that transgender people must use the public bathroom associated with the sex listed on their birth certificate. The bill would have allowed individuals and businesses with religious objections to deny services or employment based on gender identity.
