The South Carolina bathroom bill—similar to House Bill 2—is apparently dead for the year.  The bill that would prevent transgender people from using the bathroom of their choice never made it to the Senate floor. According to Furman political science professor Brent Nelsen, state senators had to pass the bill by a certain date and that didn’t happen.  Nelsen was interviewed by WLOS-TV in Asheville, N.C.
