ACLU, North Carolina governor reach agreement in transgender bathroom lawsuit

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Oct 18 (Reuters) - Transgender people would be allowed to use public restrooms in North Carolina that match their gender identity under a consent decree filed on Wednesday that aims to resolve the federal lawsuit over the state's widely criticized bathroom law.
The proposed agreement was announced by Governor Roy Cooper and the American Civil Liberties Union. A judge must sign off on the proposal before it takes effect.
A measure passed in March helped bring back some business and sports events pulled from the state in protest in the year after it enacted the so-called bathroom bill. But activists said transgender people still faced discrimination and threats to their safety under the new law.
