The Latest: NC governor: Ruling brings new dynamic to law

North Carolina's governor says a federal appeals court ruling overturning a Virginia school district policy on restroom use by a transgender student "puts a whole new dynamic" on a state law he signed addressing bathroom use and limiting LGBT discrimination protections.

Gov. Pat McCrory spoke to reporters Tuesday just after a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined the Gloucester County School Board policy requiring students to use public restrooms corresponding with their biological gender is discriminatory.

The appeals court's ruling establishes legal precedent in the five states in the 4th Circuit, including North Carolina, which faces a lawsuit challenging a new state law requiring transgender public school students to use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate.
