Petition Cancel plans to open a trading office in Raleigh North Carolina

Recently North Carolina has passed a bill dubbed 'HB 2' which has "voided all local ordinances protecting LGBT rights". As a result many business ventures have removed or cancelled their investment plans in the state. The UK should also refuse to support a region that legalises LGBT discrimination.
