NBA Moving All Star Game Due to Anti-LGBT Legislation

The US National Basketball Association is moving its 2017 All Star Game out of North Carolina. 

The move is in response to legislation enacted in the state earlier this year that eliminated specific anti discrimination protections for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people. 

As US Correspondent Rachel Silverman reports the game was to be played in Charlotte…the new host city will be announced soon.
