From the article:

"Similarly, the executive order “affirms the private sector and local governments’ right to establish non-discrimination employment policies for its own employees” – but this, too, fails to address the actual problem created by the bill. HB2 voided citywide nondiscrimination ordinances covering all employees within the city, not just government workers. In fact, the bill explicitly allowed cities to maintain previous policies regarding municipal workers. So this portion of McCrory’s order changes absolutely nothing."

In a statement to MSNBC, Chase Strangio, staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, responded to yesterday’s developments by saying, “It’s clear that this is a political ploy from the governor that does absolutely nothing to change or roll back many harms to the LGBT community [inflicted by] HB2. Perhaps most concerning about the executive order is that it reinforces the anti-transgender provisions of the law and continues McCrory’s campaign to distort the truth about what it means to protect transgender people from discrimination.”
