LOL, sorry my post was so long that you can't even read it in its entirety. I literally addressed what you said in my post; that law is but the most recent example of a history of suppression of minorities.
"Macro trends", you mean like the Voter ID laws? The continued traditions of Jim Crow Laws such as keeping blacks from being in the jury of black criminals?
But hey, answering why someone wouldn't consider N.C. as a place to live by completely dismissing their opinions is definitely not poisoning the discussion right? And definitely not a social issue at all.

Most people from SFC would feel perfectly at home, except for the jarring experience of buying a nice house with land and less than a 30 minute commute for under $300K. I think it's unfair a bit to single out NC specifically on HB2-like, voter ID, et al laws when it's a part of a broader national political initiative to push model legislation by one party (skirting the subject, look at the similarity in laws passed in states with conservative legislatures and executives, like how NC finds itself currently). And Prop 8 is not an invalid counterpoint. CA has a similar dynamic (progressive urban areas with conservative rural areas: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/US_House_2014.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/US_House...) to what has led to the current situation in NC. Regardless, HB2 is an embarrassing disgrace that NC has to deal with.
