UPDATE: Cooper Will Not Join Transgender Lawsuit
RALEIGH — Late Monday, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Roy Cooper, a Democrat, announced that Cooper would not file a friend-of-the-court brief in a lawsuit filed by a transgender student in Virginia, challenging the school district’s refusal to let the student use public bathrooms assigned to students of the opposite biological sex. Meantime, Cooper's campaign for governor called McCrory a bully for attempting to participate in the lawsuit.
