The North Carolina General Assembly was called into a special session about nine months after they passed the law.

It sparked controversy and a national conversation about transgender rights. Supporters say the law protects women and children from sexual predators in public restrooms, while LGBT activists call it discriminatory.

As a result, major corporations decided to pull up stakes, entertainers cancelled concerts and the NCAA and ACC moved sporting events away.

The special session was scheduled this week after Democratic Gov.-elect Roy Cooper successfully lobbied the Charlotte City Council to gut a local ordinance that Republicans had blamed for necessitating the statewide law.

Republicans vowed if Charlotte repealed its ordinance, the legislature would consider repealing HB2.

Republican Gov. Pat McCrory called a special session Wednesday, but the deal fell apart when Republicans and Democrats could not agree on how to repeal the law.

After a series of failed attempts to come to an agreement, the Senate voted down a motion to repeal the law and the House adjourned without acting. They are both scheduled to convene next in January.

Senate Leader Phil Berger put a statement on his website blaming Cooper and the Democrats for putting North Carolina's families at risk.

"Their action proves they only want a repeal in order to force radical social engineering and shared bathrooms across North Carolina, at the expense of our state's families, our reputation, and our economy." Berger said.
