LGBT rights in North Carolina
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in the U.S. state of North Carolina face some legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Same-sex sexual activity is legal in North Carolina. The state has recognized same-sex marriage since October 10, 2014.
==Laws regarding same-sex sexual activity==
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in ''Lawrence v. Texas'' (2003) held laws criminalizing consensual homosexual activity between adults unconstitutional.〔''New York Times'': ("Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas Law Banning Sodomy," June 26, 2003 ), accessed June 28, 2011〕
In ''State v. Whiteley'' (2005), the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled that the crime against nature statute, N.C. G.S. § 14-177, is not unconstitutional on its face because it may properly be used to criminalize sexual conduct involving minors, non-consensual or coercive conduct, public conduct, and prostitution.〔(State of North Carolina v. Gregory Paul Whiteley ), Retrieved May 24, 2013〕
The state's sodomy law, though unenforceable, has not been repealed.
